Abstract

This paper proposes the novel secure information sharing among wireless nodes by the physical layer security based on multi-antenna null steering. For secure wireless communication, the secure information like the common key of cypher should be shared among nodes before data transmission. However, in wireless adhoc network, the untrusted relay node may steal the data under relay process. In the proposed sharing, a source node and two sink nodes send the information conveying signal and the artificial noises to relay station, simultaneously for avoiding decoding the information in the untrusted relay. After amplifying and forwarding relay, the two nodes do not decode the information from the received signal without removing artificial noises. The untrusted relay constructs the null steering with two antennas for removing the artificial noise. Since the channel transfer functions through which the two artificial noises are passed are common, the null points to two sink nodes can be constructed. As a result, the two nodes can remove the artificial noises. This null steering is mirroring null steering. The computer simulation shows the effect of proposed information sharing in terms of secure capacity.

Transmit control for secure information sharing in untrusted relay with two antennas

Noguchi Tetsuya, Osamu Takyu, Fumihito Sasamori +3 more

Relay network assisted wireless terminal has an advantage for easily constructing wireless network but a disadvantage for information leak to the wireless terminal. For secure wireless communication, an encryption but the sharing of secrete key between information source and destination are required. A secure information sharing with artificial noise and mirroring null steering for avoiding the information leak to untrusted relay has been proposed. In this paper, for enhancing the security of this proposed secure information sharing, we consider two transmit controls, transmit power control (TPC) and the adaptive node selection of information source. We evaluate the secure capacity by computer simulation.

Performance Evaluation of Information-Sharing Scheme Among Multiple Destinations with Mirroring Null Steering in Single Antenna Networks

T. Noguchi, Osamu Takyu, Takeo Fujii +1 more

This paper clarifies the secure capacity in a secure information sharing among multiple destinations by using artificial noise and mirroring null steering (MNS) constructed by cooperative relays in single antenna networks. The MNS can selectively pass the desired signal to all destinations and remove artificial noise. Because the destinations archive high-quality received signals and the other systems cannot, secure information sharing can be achieved from a physical layer security perspective.

Physical Layer Security with Untrusted Relays in Wireless Cooperative Networks

Guiyang Luo, Jinglin Li, Zhihan Liu +2 more

We investigate the problem of physical layer security in a wireless cooperative network, where communication is assisted by the untrusted relay. It is impossible for the amplify-and-forward protocol to convey a confidential message from the source to the destination without the help of other nodes, where only an untrusted relay is available. Nonetheless, our results are quite optimistic when there are multiple untrusted relays, which amplify the received signal and forward it to the destination. We treat the untrusted relay nodes as eavesdroppers, despite the fact that they are the enablers of communication. First of all, we prove that a positive secrecy rate can always be ensured regardless of the transmit power and the channel condition of the untrusted relays, as long as there exists a sufficient number of untrusted relays. Furthermore, a closed-form solution to the upper bound of secrecy rate is obtained. Finally, a practical approach is proposed to acquire a positive secrecy rate, which brings nearly no extra communication cost. Simulations are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

Physical layer network coding with multiple untrusted relays for physical layer security

Yamaguchi Kazuma, Osamu Takyu, Tomoaki Otsuki Ohtsuki +2 more

We proposed the physical layer security (PLS) under the untrusted relay in the wireless communication with the physical layer network coding (PLNC). In PLNC, the two information source accesses the relay station, simultaneously and thus it is difficult for the relay station to demodulate each signal due to the masking-effect from the other signal. As a result, the leakage of information to the untrusted relay is avoidable. The transmit power control (TPC) for the balancing between the two received signal powers is powerful. The secure capacity is enlarged but has not been optimized for maximizing the secure capacity. In this paper, the quasi-optimization of TPC for enlarging secure capacity is derived in the wireless communication with the untrusted relay and PLNC.

Improving Wireless Physical Layer Security via Cooperating Relays

Lun Dong, Zhu Han, Athina P. Petropulu +1 more

Physical (PHY) layer security approaches for wireless communications can prevent eavesdropping without upper layer data encryption. However, they are hampered by wireless channel conditions: absent feedback, they are typically feasible only when the source-destination channel is better than the source-eavesdropper channel. Node cooperation is a means to overcome this challenge and improve the performance of secure wireless communications. This paper addresses secure communications of one source-destination pair with the help of multiple cooperating relays in the presence of one or more eavesdroppers. Three cooperative schemes are considered: decode-and-forward (DF), amplify-and-forward (AF), and cooperative jamming (CJ). For these schemes, the relays transmit a weighted version of a reencoded noise-free message signal (for DF), a received noisy source signal (for AF), or a common jamming signal (for CJ). Novel system designs are proposed, consisting of the determination of relay weights and the allocation of transmit power, that maximize the achievable secrecy rate subject to a transmit power constraint, or, minimize the transmit power subject to a secrecy rate constraint. For DF in the presence of one eavesdropper, closed-form optimal solutions are derived for the relay weights. For other problems, since the optimal relay weights are difficult to obtain, several criteria are considered leading to suboptimal but simple solutions, i.e., the complete nulling of the message signals at all eavesdroppers (for DF and AF), or the complete nulling of jamming signal at the destination (for CJ). Based on the designed relay weights, for DF in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers, and for CJ in the presence of one eavesdropper, the optimal power allocation is obtained in closed-form; in all other cases the optimal power allocation is obtained via iterative algorithms. Numerical evaluation of the obtained secrecy rate and transmit power results show that the proposed design can significantly improve the performance of secure wireless communications.

Guangda Zhang, Qinghua Ren, Zhikai Fan

The two-stage physical layer security transmission scheme based on Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer and friendly jamming signals aided is proposed to solve the energy-constrained problem of signal processing and secure transmission issues of confidential information upon the multi-antenna relay systems. First, a multi-antenna relay system model based on the amplify-and-forward protocol is established. Then, Considering the scenario of multiple eavesdroppers and non-collusion eavesdropping, Analyzing the transmission process of system energy and information, the optimal transmission antenna selection strategy and the optimal jamming antenna selection strategy are respectively proposed in order to maximize the secrecy performance of the system. Next, the closed-form expressions of the system secrecy outage probability are derived. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulation method is applied to verify the correctness of the theoretical derivation, and the influence of parameters such as the transmit signal-to-noise ratio, power splitting factor and power allocation coefficient on the secrecy performance of the system is analyzed. The simulation results show that the proposed transmission scheme outperforms compared with the existing security transmission scheme.
