Information-spectrum methods for information-theoretic security

Matthieu R. Bloch, J. Nicholas Laneman

We investigate the potential of an information-spectrum approach to information-theoretic security. We show how this approach provides conceptually simple yet powerful results that can be used to investigate complex communication scenarios. In particular, we illustrate the usefulness of information-spectrum methods by analyzing the effect of channel state information (CSI) on the secure rates achievable over wiretap channels. We establish a formula for secrecy capacity, which we then specialize to compute achievable rates for ergodic fading channels in the presence of imperfect CSI. Our results confirm the importance of having some knowledge about the eavesdropper's channel, but also show that imperfect CSI does not necessarily preclude security.

Secure User Authentication With Information Theoretic Security Using Secret Sharing-Based Secure Computation

Keiichi Iwamura, Ahmad Akmal Aminuddin Mohd Kamal

When using an insecure communication channel, the initial step involves authenticating the user (verifying the other party) to ensure the legitimacy of the communication partner, followed by encrypted communication. Public-key encryption-based digital signatures are widely utilized for user authentication; however, they is highly likely that it will be deciphered with the development of quantum computers. Studies are also being conducted on post-quantum cryptography, although it requires significant computational resources and is challenging to implement in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Consequently, this study suggests the implementation of user authentication and secure communication that guarantees information-theoretic security through the use of a secure computation based on a computationally light (k, n) threshold secret sharing scheme. In this study, we first propose a user authentication system with information-theoretical security utilizing constantly changing information. Subsequently, we demonstrate that secure communication with information-theoretic security can be achieved without the need to distribute a substantial amount of true random numbers, by employing a secure computation based on (k, n) threshold secret sharing. Our proposed methods are suitable for implementation in an IoT environment, as they require minimal processing overhead. We also demonstrate the practical application of the proposed methods through implementation using C++. For example, the claimant’s average execution time is less than 0.1 [ms], and the proposed methods are very efficient.

Information Theoretic Security

Yingbin Liang, H. Vincent Poor, Shlomo Shitz Shamai

Security is one of the most important issues in communications. Security issues arising in communication networks include confidentiality, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation. Attacks on the security of communication networks can be divided into two basic types: passive attacks and active attacks. An active attack corresponds to the situation in which a malicious actor intentionally disrupts the system. A passive attack corresponds to the situation in which a malicious actor attempts to interpret source information without injecting any information or trying to modify the information; i.e., passive attackers listen to the transmission without modifying it. Information Theoretic Security focuses on confidentiality issues, in which passive attacks are of primary concern. The information theoretic approach to achieving secure communication opens a promising new direction toward solving wireless networking security problems. Compared to contemporary cryptosystems, information theoretic approaches offer advantages such as eliminating the key management issue; are less vulnerable to the man-in-the-middle and achieve provable security that is robust to powerful eavesdroppers possessing unlimited computational resources, knowledge of the communication strategy employed including coding and decoding algorithms, and access to communication systems either through perfect or noisy channels. Information Theoretic Security surveys the research dating back to the 1970s which forms the basis of applying this technique in modern systems. It proceeds to provide an overview of how information theoretic approaches are developed to achieve secrecy for a basic wire-tap channel model as well as for its extensions to multiuser networks. It is an invaluable resource for students and researchers working in network security, information theory and communications.
