Covert Bayesian Quickest Change Detection
Yun-Feng Lo, Matthieu R. Bloch
We investigate the problem of covert quickest change detection in a Bayesian and infinite-horizon setting. A legitimate entity seeks to detect a change in the state of a discrete m…
Rate Distortion Approach to Joint Communication and Sensing With Markov States: Open Loop Case
Colton P. Lindstrom, Matthieu R. Bloch
We investigate a joint communication and sensing (JCAS) framework in which a transmitter concurrently transmits information to a receiver and estimates a state of interest based on…
Multiuser Commitment over Noisy Channels
Remi A. Chou, Matthieu R. Bloch
We consider multi-user commitment models that capture the problem of enabling multiple bidders to simultaneously submit auctions to verifiers while ensuring that i) verifiers do no…
Pilot-Attacks Can Enable Positive-Rate Covert Communications of Wireless Hardware Trojans
Serhat Bakirtas, Matthieu R. Bloch, Elza Erkip
Hardware Trojans can inflict harm on wireless networks by exploiting the link margins inherent in communication systems. We investigate a setting in which, alongside a legitimate c…
