In this paper we consider a cognitive interference channel with two confidential messages. In our scenario, although the cognitive transmitter cooperates with the primary sender, the primary and cognitive messages must be secure at unintended receivers. The level of secrecy is measured by the equivocation rate. Also an expression is obtained for the rate-equivocation region of the discrete memoryless cognitive interference channel with confidential primary and secondary messages.

The cognitive interference channel with confidential messages is studied. Similarly to the classical two-user interference channel, the cognitive interference channel consists of two transmitters whose signals interfere at the two receivers. It is assumed that there is a common message source (message 1) known to both transmitters, and an additional independent message source (message 2) known only to the cognitive transmitter (transmitter 2). The cognitive receiver (receiver 2) needs to decode both messages, while the non-cognitive receiver (receiver 1) should decode only the common message. Furthermore, message 2 is assumed to be a confidential message which needs to be kept as secret as possible from receiver 1, which is viewed as an eavesdropper with regard to message 2. The level of secrecy is measured by the equivocation rate. A single-letter expression for the capacity-equivocation region of the discrete memoryless cognitive interference channel is established and is further explicitly derived for the Gaussian case. Moreover, particularizing the capacity-equivocation region to the case without a secrecy constraint, establishes a new capacity theorem for a class of interference channels, by providing a converse theorem.
Like the conventional two-user interference channel, the cognitive interference channel consists of two transmitters whose signals interfere at two receivers. It is assumed that there is a common message (message 1) known to both transmitters, and an additional independent message (message 2) known only to the cognitive transmitter (transmitter 2). The cognitive receiver (receiver 2) needs to decode messages 1 and 2, while the non cognitive receiver (receiver 1) should decode only message 1. Furthermore, message 2 is assumed to be a confidential message which needs to be kept as secret as possible from receiver 1, which is viewed as an eavesdropper with regard to message 2. The level of secrecy is measured by the equivocation rate. In this paper, a single-letter expression for the capacity-equivocation region of the discrete memoryless cognitive interference channel is obtained. The capacity-equivocation region for the Gaussian cognitive interference channel is also obtained explicitly. Moreover, particularizing the capacity-equivocation region to the case without a secrecy constraint, the capacity region for the two-user cognitive interference channel is obtained, by providing a converse theorem.
In this paper the secrecy problem in the cognitive statedependent interference channel is considered. In this scenario we have a primary and a cognitive transmitter-receiver pairs. The cognitive transmitter has the message of the primary sender as side information. In addition, the state of the channel is known at the cognitive encoder. So, the cognitive encoder uses this side information to cooperate with the primary transmitter and sends its individual message confidentially. An achievable rate region and an outer bound for the rate region in this channel are derived. The results are extended to the previous works as special cases.
In this paper, capacity limits are explored for the Cognitive Radio Channel (CRC) with confidential messages. As an idealized information theoretic model for the cognitive radio, this channel includes two transmitters which send independent messages to their corresponding receivers such that one transmitter, i.e., the cognitive transmitter, has access non-causally to the message of the other transmitter, i.e., the primary transmitter. The message designated to each receiver is required to be kept confidential with respect to the other receiver. The secrecy level for each message is evaluated using the equivocation rate. Novel inner and outer bounds for the capacity-equivocation region are established. It is shown that these bounds coincide for some special cases. Specifically, the capacity-equivocation region is derived for a class of less-noisy CRCs and also a class of semi-deterministic CRCs. For the case where only the message of the cognitive transmitter is required to be kept confidential, the capacity-equivocation region is also established for the Gaussian CRC with weak interference.
The (non-causal) cognitive interference channel, studied recently by Liang et.al., is a model for a classical twouser discrete memoryless interference channel, over which two transmitters send a pair of independent messages.It is assumed that the first message is shared by both encoders, whereas the second message in known only to Encoder 2 -the cognitive transmitter.Receiver 2 needs to decode both messages, and Receiver 1 should decode only the first message while Message 2 should be kept as secret as possible from Receiver 1.The level of secrecy is measured by the equivocation rate.For this model the capacity-equivocation region has been derived by Liang et.al..In this work we dispense of the assumption that Message 1 is shared a-priori by both encoders.Instead, we study the case in which Encoder 2 cribs causally from Encoder 1.We derive an achievable rate-equivocation region for this model and establish the capacity-equivocation region for a degraded interference channel.
