The Security Network Coding System With Physical Layer Key Generation in Two-Way Relay Networks

Abstract

Network coding is one of the key technologies to improve the throughput, efficiency, and reliability of two-way relay networks (TWRNs). However, it also brings some new security problems when the physical layer security is considered. In this paper, we present security network coding schemes with key generation from multipath channels to enhance the security performance for TWRN. First, a joint key generation (JKG) approach is proposed, which generates secret keys based on channel impulse responses of multipath channels. Different from the traditional approaches, key exchange is not necessary for the JKG approach such that the eavesdroppers cannot obtain any information about secret keys. Then, an adaptive quantization algorithm is proposed to adaptively choose different parameters for quantization in key generation, which can improve the secret key rate with an acceptable secret key disagreement probability and can still work even if the SNR is low. Finally, security network coding systems are constructed to combine the key generation approaches with the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes are valid and secure against wiretap attacks.

A Two-Layer Secure Quantization Algorithm for Secret Key Generation With Correlated Eavesdropping Channel

Henglei Jin, Kaizhi Huang, Shuaifang Xiao +3 more

When the eavesdropping channel has a certain correlation with the legitimate channel, the physical layer key is susceptible to eavesdroppers. To ensure the security of the secret key, we propose a two-layer secure (TLS) quantization algorithm in this paper. First, we model the correlation between the distance and the channel correlation and derive the joint probability density function of channel phase and the key capacity. Then, we describe the detail of the TLS algorithm and prove the validity of our algorithm. Finally, we evaluate the performances of the TLS quantization algorithm using two parameters-key rate and bit disagreement rate. The Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

On the conditioning channel capacity of MIMO two-way relay networks against eavesdropper

Jia You, Zhangdui D. Zhong, Feifei Gao +1 more

In this paper, we consider the two-way relay network (TWRN) in the presence of an eavesdropper, and construct a noisy amplify-and-forward (AF) algorithm to enhance the physical (PHY) layer security capacity. All the source nodes, the relay and the eavesdropper are equipped with multiple antennas. In the proposed noisy AF scheme, the relay first receives signals from both source nodes, adds weighted artificial noise (AN), and then amplifies and forwards the modified signal to both source nodes. In this scenario, we analyze the effects of AN and the number of relay antennas on the secrecy sum rate for different conditioning channel matrices. It is shown that AN will result in an increased secrecy sum rate, and the channel condition is a key parameter of the system in deciding the sum secrecy rate. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the validity of proposed studies.

Secure adaptive transmission in two-way relay wiretap channels

Chenxi Liu, Nan Yang, Shihao Yan +2 more

In this work we investigate, for the first time, the secrecy performance of a single-input single-output single antenna eavesdropper two-way relay wiretap channel, in which only statistical channel state information from the eavesdropper is available at the sources. We propose a secure adaptive transmission scheme for this two-way relay wiretap channel in which the sum effective secrecy throughput is utilized as the performance metric. Given our adopted system model, we determine the wiretap code rate parameters for the two sources which maximize this performance metric. In addition, we explore the relationship between the sum effective secrecy throughput and the transmit powers at the sources, demonstrating how the sum effective secrecy for the adopted system is maximized at certain transmit powers. Given the practical system model we investigate, the results reported here are important for the deployment of physical layer security in two-way relay wiretap channels.

Efficient secret key generation scheme of physical layer security communication in ubiquitous wireless networks

Hailiang Xiong, Guangyuan Wang, Jian Jun Ding +5 more

Abstract This paper focuses on high efficiency secret key generation mechanism of physical‐layer communication over fading channels in ubiquitous wireless networks. The secret key rate via traditional physical‐layer approach could be limited when the wireless propagation channels connecting two sensors change slowly. To generate a high‐rate secret key and improve the communication efficiency over quasi‐static block fading channels, a novel multi‐randomness device‐to‐device secret key generation strategy and a cooperative communication mechanism aided by relay nodes are proposed. In the proposed schemes, the legitimate members to send random signals rotationally in every coherent time are set; thus, two legitimate ubiquitous wireless network members, Alice and Bob, can obtain the potential correlated information by exploiting the randomness and the reciprocity of the wireless propagation channels. Considering the reciprocity of wireless channels is variable while the forward channel gain and backward channel gain are correlated in coherent time, a modified secret key generation scheme is proposed via layered coding with theoretical secret key rates derived. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms traditional approaches with favourable application prospects in ubiquitous wireless communications networks and internet of things.

A Novel Secure Transmission Scheme in MIMO Two-Way Relay Channels with Physical Layer Approach

Qiao Liu, Guang Gong, Yong Wang +1 more

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.

Improving the Physical-Layer Security of Wireless Two-Way Relaying via Analog Network Coding

Hui‐Ming Wang, Qinye Yin, Xiang‐Gen Xia

In this paper, we address the physical-layer security of two-way (bi-directional) transmissions of two terminals with the help of multiple relay nodes in the presence of an eavesdropper, where each node in the network is only equipped with single antenna. The secrecy sum rate is used as the metric of security, which is the rate difference between the legitimate information exchange between the terminals and the information leakage to the eavesdropper. We propose two-phase analog network coding (ANC) and power allocation scheme for the relay nodes and terminals to enhance the security of the data exchange. Three different schemes are proposed. The first scheme is the optimal ANC to achieve the maximum secrecy sum rate, i.e. secrecy capacity, which is found to be mathematically difficult to solve. Two suboptimal schemes are proposed with and without the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropper, respectively. The solutions of both schemes are shown to be unique and globally optimum, which are solved by convex optimization techniques. Numerical evaluation results of the obtained secrecy sum rate and transmit power are provided and analyzed to show the properties and efficiency of the proposed ANCs.
