Some New Results on the Wiretap Channel with Side Information

Abstract

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.

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

On the Secrecy Capacity of Wiretap Channels With Side Information at the Transmitter

Hachiro Fujita

The wiretap channel with causal/noncausal side information at the transmitter is an extension of the original wiretap channel of Wyner to the multi-user case and has been investigated by several authors. Although much effort has been made to establish the secrecy capacity, it is still elusive even if the wiretap channel is physically degraded. In this paper, for a physically degraded wiretap channel, we show a lower bound on the secrecy capacity for the causal case and an upper bound for the noncausal case. We also show that under a certain condition, the secrecy capacity for the causal case is the same as that for the noncausal case. To illustrate the usefulness of our theoretical result, we introduce the concept of a symmetric wiretap channel with state, for which the above condition is easily checked, and we give some examples in which the secrecy capacity can be computed numerically.

Wiretap channel with strictly causal side information at encoder

Amir Sonee, Ghosheh Abed Hodtani

In this paper, the wiretap channel with side information studied in [2] is revisited for the case in which the side information is available only at the encoder and in a strictly causal manner. We derive a lower bound on the secrecy capacity of the channel based on a coding scheme which consists of block Markov encoding and key generation using the strictly causal state information available at the encoder. In order to provide the secrecy of messages, at the end of each block a description of the state sequence obtained by the encoder is used to generate the key which encrypts the whole or part of the message to be transmitted in the next block. Moreover, for the decoder to be able to decrypt the messages, the description of the sate sequence of each block is sent in common with the message of that block. Also, an upper bound on the secrecy capacity is developed which assumes that the state is noncausally known at the encoder and we prove that it would coincide the lower bound for a special case and results in the secrecy capacity.

Wiretap Channel with Action-Dependent Channel State Information

Bin Dai, A. J. Han Vinck, Yuan Luo +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the model of wiretap channel with action-dependent channel state information. Given the message to be communicated, the transmitter chooses an action sequence that affects the formation of the channel states, and then generates the channel input sequence based on the state sequence and the message. The main channel and the wiretap channel are two discrete memoryless channels (DMCs), and they are connected with the legitimate receiver and the wiretapper, respectively. Moreover, the transition probability distribution of the main channel depends on the channel state. Measuring wiretapper’s uncertainty about the message by equivocation, inner and outer bounds on the capacity-equivocation region are provided both for the case where the channel inputs are allowed to depend non-causally on the state sequence and the case where they are restricted to causal dependence. Furthermore, the secrecy capacities for both cases are bounded, which provide the best transmission rate with perfect secrecy. The result is further explained via a binary example.

On the Secrecy Rate Region of Multiple-Access Wiretap Channel With Noncausal Side Information

Amir Sonee, Ghosheh Abed Hodtani

In this paper, we study the two transmitter multiple-access channel (MAC) with noncausal side information at one (single-sided) or both (two-sided) of the encoders in the presence of an external wiretapper (WT) and under individual and collective secrecy constraints. Our work consists of four parts. First, we consider the discrete memoryless (DM-MAC-WT) case of the model and derive inner and outer bounds on the secrecy capacity region under both of the secrecy constraints. Second, the results are extended to the Gaussian memoryless case [Gaussian multiple-access channel WT (GMAC-WT)] in detail and are used to illustrate numerically that the secrecy rate region is enlarged by increasing the power of the interference signal which is known noncausally at the encoder. Third, we analyze the strong interference regime as an important regime in GMAC with side information and show that under collective secrecy constraint, we can achieve the secrecy capacity region of the single-sided channel asymptotically for a special case in which the signal and noise powers satisfy specific constraints. To the best of our knowledge, this capacity region is the first one obtained for GMAC-WT. Finally, we show that our results include previous works as its special cases for both the single-sided and two-sided channel models.
