Construction of Codes for Wiretap Channel and Secret Key Agreement from Correlated Source Outputs by Using Sparse Matrices
arXiv:0903.4014
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to prove coding theorems for the wiretap channel coding problem and secret key agreement problem based on the the notion of a hash property for an ensemble of functions. These theorems imply that codes using sparse matrices can achieve the optimal rate. Furthermore, fixed-rate universal coding theorems for a wiretap channel and a secret key agreement are also proved.
