Abstract

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

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.

Wiretap Channel With Side Information

Yanling Chen, A. J. Han Vinck

This correspondence gives an achievable rate equivocation region for the discrete memoryless wiretap channel with side information. We extend our results to the Gaussian case. The main contribution of this correspondence is that, for the Gaussian wiretap channel, the side information helps to get a largersecrecy capacityand a largerrate equivocationregion.

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 for the Gaussian wiretap channel with side information

C. Mitrpant, A. J. Han Vinck, Yuan Luo

In this correspondence, we extend the Gaussian wiretap channel model introduced by Leung-Yan-Cheong and Hellman to the Gaussian wiretap channel with side information by introducing additive white Gaussian interference in the main channel, which is available to the encoder in advance. This model is also an extension of the dirty-paper channel introduced by Costa since its main channel is the dirty-paper channel. A perfect-secrecy-achieving coding strategy for the model is proposed. It is used to derive achievable rates with asymptotic perfect secrecy and an achievable rate-equivocation region. The achievable rates with asymptotic perfect-secrecy are then compared to upper and lower bounds. The comparison indicates that the proposed coding strategy is optimal in some cases.

On the achievable rate region of a new Gaussian wiretap channel with side information

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

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 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.
