Interference Alignment for Secrecy
arXiv:0810.1187 · doi:10.1109/TIT.2011.2132430
Abstract
This paper studies the frequency/time selective -user Gaussian interference channel with secrecy constraints. Two distinct models, namely the interference channel with confidential messages and the one with an external eavesdropper, are analyzed. The key difference between the two models is the lack of channel state information (CSI) about the external eavesdropper. Using interference alignment along with secrecy pre-coding, it is shown that each user can achieve non-zero secure Degrees of Freedom (DoF) for both cases. More precisely, the proposed coding scheme achieves secure DoF {\em with probability one} per user in the confidential messages model. For the external eavesdropper scenario, on the other hand, it is shown that each user can achieve secure DoF {\em in the ergodic setting}. Remarkably, these results establish the {\em positive impact} of interference on the secrecy capacity region of wireless networks.
