Abstract

Security issue has been considered as one of the most pivotal aspects for the fifth-generation mobile network (5G) due to the increasing demands of security service as well as the growing occurrence of security threat. In this paper, instead of focusing on the security architecture in the upper layer, we investigate the secure transmission for a basic channel model in a heterogeneous network, that is, two-way relay channels. By exploiting the properties of the transmission medium in the physical layer, we propose a novel secure scheme for the aforementioned channel mode. With precoding design, the proposed scheme is able to achieve a high transmission efficiency as well as security. Two different approaches have been introduced: information theoretical approach and physical layer encryption approach. We show that our scheme is secure under three different adversarial models: ( 1 ) untrusted relay attack model, ( 2 ) trusted relay with eavesdropper attack model, and ( 3 ) untrusted relay with eavesdroppers attack model. We also derive the secrecy capacity of the two different approaches under the three attacks. Finally, we conduct three simulations of our proposed scheme. The simulation results agree with the theoretical analysis illustrating that our proposed scheme could achieve a better performance than the existing schemes.

In this paper, we propose a novel secure transmission scheme for multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO) Two-Way relay channels, where multi- pair communication partners exchange information securely with the help of relay. By utilizing the properties of transmission medium in physical layer, our scheme can achieve high transmission efficiency as well as information theoretic security.

Secure and Energy-Efficient Precoding for MIMO Two-Way Untrusted Relay Systems

Shuangrui Zhao, Jia Liu, Yulong Shen +2 more

This paper focuses on the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relay system with an untrusted relay and investigates its secure and energy-efficient precoding design issue based on the physical layer security technology. We first provide theoretical modeling for the index of secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) and formulate the optimal precoding design for SEE maximization (SEEM) as a high-dimensional non-convex programming problem. By exploring the techniques like fractional programming, alternate optimization and semi-definite programming, we then develop a hierarchical theoretical framework to solve the SEEM problem and thus to identify the optimal precoding designs for the source and relay. Furthermore, we demonstrate the proposed theoretical framework is also applicable to the problem of precoding design for secrecy sum rate maximization. Finally, with the help of generalized singular value decomposition, we propose a sub-optimal relay precoding design scheme with significantly lower computational complexity. Extensive numerical results provided in the paper indicate that the proposed schemes can remarkably improve the SEE performance in MIMO two-way untrusted relay systems.

Key Technologies of 5G Wireless Communication Network Physical Layer Based on Information Security Early Warning Model

Yifeng He, Yinyu Wei, Jiadong Cao

With the continuous development of the fifth generation (5G) technology, the physical layer of the wireless communication network is facing new challenges. How to effectively prevent and protect these key technologies in the physical layer has a great impact on the entire network and even the entire society. Information security early warning model is a state evaluation model of important security control points in the physical layer of communication network. Security is an important indicator of communication system. Whether its security protection is effective is the basis of its survival and use. Aiming at the situation that the receiver is monitored in the transmission system, this paper has studied the safe transmission method assisted by artificial noise (AN). After the simulation experiment of the physical layer security transmission algorithm, this paper discussed the performance of different algorithms in three scenarios: transmission under non ideal channel information, one-way relay eavesdropping system, and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) untrusted relay eavesdropping system. When analyzing the relationship between the safe transmission rate of different MIMO untrusted relay antennas and the target power constraint $A_{T}, M_{y}=5, M_{d}3, M_{t}=4, A_{t}=\{5,35\}$ dB. On this basis, the optimal power distribution was realized. In the six schemes, when the power constraint $A_{T}$ increased, the security transmission rate of each scheme was improved.

Physical Layer Secure Information Exchange Protocol for MIMO Ad Hoc Networks against Passive Attacks

Qiao Liu, Guang Gong

In this paper, we propose a secure transmission protocol for two users exchanging their respective information in an n-hop MIMO Ad hoc network. By exploiting the properties of the transmission medium in the physical layer, three channel models are utilized to provide secure transmission, namely one-way relay channel, two-way untrusted relay channel, and multiple access channel. Using these channel models, we design a basic protocol with a minimized time slot cost, i.e. n+1. Based on this basic protocol, we show that the attacker, either untrusted relay or external eavesdropper, can only obtain a summed signal in each time slot, and this summed signal cannot be decomposed to recover the individual information from the users. We then present cryptographic analysis for the first time to identify a weakness which is common for all known security schemes based on the summed signal. Thirdly, we introduce an evolutionary protocol proposed with two rounds of interlaced information exchange, which defeats this weakness. Finally, the simulation is performed to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.

General Secure Information Exchange Protocol for a Multiuser MIMO Relay Channel

Qiao Liu, Hui Li, Yong Wang

Secure information exchange occurs in many recently emerging cooperative-based networks, such as 5G networks (especially those with a Device to Device architecture), the Internet of Things, and vehicular ad hoc networks. However, the existing information exchange protocols only focus on either pairwise information exchange or group information exchange, and none of these protocols enable private and public information exchange to occur simultaneously. Thus, a general secure information exchange protocol for a multiuser channel is desirable. With this motivation, this paper investigates simultaneous private and public information exchange in a Multiple Inputs Multiple Outputs (MIMO) multiuser relay channel. In an aim to achieve this goal, signal alignment is chosen as the core technique. With the designed precoding matrix for each user, private information is aligned with its exchange partner, and public information forms a coding chain at the relay. With the aligned private signal and public coding chain, neither an untrusted relay nor external eavesdroppers can recover the original individual information. Performance analyses of the proposed protocol are conducted. First, we conduct transmission performance analyses from the perspective of time slot cost. Second, we conduct a security analysis for private information exchange and public information exchange. Third, we conduct secrecy sum-rate analysis for three attack scenarios: an untrusted relay attack only, an eavesdropper attack only, and both an untrusted relay and eavesdropper attack. The simulations are conducted to demonstrate that the proposed protocol can enable simultaneous private and public information exchange while resisting attacks by an undesired receiver, an untrusted relay, and external eavesdroppers.

Research on relay-based physical layer security based on massive MIMO

Ruidong Chen, Xuan Geng

The security of traditional wireless communication relies on upper layer encryption and cannot protect the security of the physical layer. In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional wireless communication system encryption, artificial noise generation and random precoder are used to study the secure transmission method of large-scale multiple input multiple output(MIMO) downlink system under relay cooperation. The estimated channel state information is derived and the rate expression is derived,and then the confidentiality rate on the user node is analyzed. The performance gap is analyzed and compared for the minimum mean square error precoder(MMSE) and zero forcing(ZF) precoder at the base station. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that this method can design a secure physical layer transmission strategy for large-scale MIMO relay systems, and the MMSE precoder exhibits better security performance than the ZF precoder.
