Abstract

This paper introduces a new applicable Gaussian wiretap channel with side information. In this channel, the state of the channel to the wiretapper is separated from the main channel's one. It means that the legitimate receiver and the wiretapper are listening to the transmitted signal through the different channels with different channel states which may have some correlation to each other. The state of the main channel, is assumed to be known at the transmitter, helps the sender to encrypt its messages. The achievable equivocation-rate region for this model is drived in the Gaussian case and the results are reduced to the previous works as special cases.

On The Achievable Rate Region of a New Wiretap Channel With Side Information

Hamid G. Bafghi, Babak Seyfe, Mahtab Mirmohseni +1 more

A new applicable wiretap channel with separated side information is considered here which consist of a sender, a legitimate receiver and a wiretapper. In the considered scenario, the links from the transmitter to the legitimate receiver and the eavesdropper experience different conditions or channel states. So, the legitimate receiver and the wiretapper listen to the transmitted signal through the channels with different channel states which may have some correlation to each other. It is assumed that the transmitter knows the state of the main channel non-causally and uses this knowledge to encode its message. The state of the wiretap channel is not known anywhere. An achievable equivocation rate region is derived for this model and is compared to the existing works. In some special cases, the results are extended to the Gaussian wiretap channel.

Wiretap channel with side information

Yanling Chen, A. J. Han Vinck

This paper gives a rate equivocation achievable region for the discrete memoryless wiretap channel with side information. The secrecy capacities in some special cases are also determined. We extend our result to the Gaussian case. It is very interesting to find that, for the wiretap channel, unlike the dirty paper channel, the side information helps to get larger secrecy capacity. Moreover, the rate equivocation region is also larger than that of the Gaussian wiretap channel where the side information is absent

Wiretap Channel With Two-Sided Channel State Information

Wei Liu, Biao Chen

We consider the problem of secure communication over a (not necessarily degraded) wiretap channel with two-sided channel state information available at the transmitter and the main receiver, respectively. Using the time sharing argument [1], we establish an achievable rate equivocation region for this channel model. The obtained achievable region generalizes several existing results in the literature. More importantly, through examining various cases with different knowledge of channel state information, we provide a systematic study of the impact of channel state information on secure communication.

Multi-user and wiretap channels including feedback

S. Leung-Yan-Cheong

The concept of the wiretap channel was first proposed by Wyner. He considered the case in which data is to be transmitted reliably over a discrete memoryless main channel to a legitimate receiver. The wiretapper views the output of the main channel through another discrete memoryless channel. It is assumed that the wiretapper knows the code being used and his only handicap is the additional noise in his signal. The problem is to maximize the transmission rate R to the legitimate receiver and the equivocation d of the wiretapper. In this dissertation, the additive white Gaussian noise wiretap channel is introduced and the set of all achievable (R,d) pairs is determined explicitly through the use of certain special properties of the Gaussian channel. Some useful characterizations of a special class of wiretap channels are also explored. A model of the wiretap channel with feedback is proposed. It turns out that with the introduction of feedback, even when the main channel is inferior to the wiretapper's channel, it is still possible to reliably communicate with the legitimate receiver in complete secrecy. The binary erasure wiretap channel with feedback is examined and inner and outer bounds on the achievable (R,d) region are given. Finally, a scheme for enlarging the capacity region of multiple-access channels using feedback is analyzed. It is shown that conditions under which an enlargement is possible are fairly weak, indicating that feedback can almost increase the capacity region. (Author)

Some New Results on the Wiretap Channel with Side Information

Bin Dai, Yuan Luo

In this paper, the model of wiretap channel has been reconsidered for the case that the main channel is controlled by channel state information (side information), and it is available at the transmitter in a noncausal manner (termed here noncausal side information) or causal manner (termed here causal side information). Inner and outer bounds are derived on the capacity-equivocation regions for the noncausal and causal manners, and the secrecy capacities for both manners are described and bounded, which provide the best transmission rate with perfect secrecy. Moreover, for the case that the side information is available at the transmitter in a memoryless manner (termed here memoryless side information), both the capacity-equivocation region and the secrecy capacity are determined. The results of this paper extend the previous work on wiretap channel with noncausal side information by providing an outer bound on the capacity-equivocation region. In addition, we find that the memoryless side information can not help to obtain the same secrecy capacity as that of the causal case, and this is different from the well known fact that the memoryless manner can achieve the capacity of the channel with causal side information.

An Achievable Region of Gaussian Wiretap Channel with Side Information

Yanling Chen, A. J. Han Vinck

We have proved a coding theorem for the discrete memoryless wiretap channel with side information. Extending the result to the Gaussian case, an achievable rate equivocation region is given by using a strategy similar to Costa's method on dirty paper channel. In this paper, we propose an extended region for the Gaussian wiretap channel with side information. On the other hand, it is well known that, to yield the optimal rate, Costa only considers the situation when the codeword sent by the encoder is independent of side information. Here we will show that, for the wiretap channel, to yield higher rate with the same equivocation, it might be a better choice to send a codeword dependent of side information in some cases.
