Physical-Layer Security: Does it Work in a Real Environment?

Benjamin Jensen, Bradford Clark, Dakota Flanary +3

This paper applies channel sounding measurements to enable physical-layer security coding. The channel measurements were acquired in an indoor environment and used to assess the se…

Quantifying Equivocation for Finite Blocklength Wiretap Codes

Jack Pfister, Marco A. C. Gomes, Joao P. Vilela +1

This paper presents a new technique for providing the analysis and comparison of wiretap codes in the small blocklength regime over the binary erasure wiretap channel. A major resu…

Analysis of Short Blocklength Codes for Secrecy

Willie K. Harrison, Dinis Sarmento, João P. Vilela +1

In this paper we provide secrecy metrics applicable to physical-layer coding techniques with finite blocklengths over Gaussian and fading wiretap channel models. Our metrics go bey…

Physical-Layer Security over Correlated Erasure Channels

W. K. Harrison, J. Almeida, S. W. McLaughlin +1

We explore the additional security obtained by noise at the physical layer in a wiretap channel model setting. Security enhancements at the physical layer have been proposed recent…

Coding for Cryptographic Security Enhancement using Stopping Sets

W. K. Harrison, J. Almeida, S. W. McLaughlin +1

In this paper we discuss the ability of channel codes to enhance cryptographic secrecy. Toward that end, we present the secrecy metric of degrees of freedom in an attacker's knowle…

Tandem Coding and Cryptography on Wiretap Channels: EXIT Chart Analysis

Willie K Harrison, Steven W. McLaughlin

Traditional cryptography assumes an eavesdropper receives an error-free copy of the transmitted ciphertext. Wyner's wiretap channel model recognizes that at the physical layer both…

Physical-Layer Security: Combining Error Control Coding and Cryptography

Willie K Harrison, Steven W. McLaughlin

In this paper we consider tandem error control coding and cryptography in the setting of the {\em wiretap channel} due to Wyner. In a typical communications system a cryptographic…
