A New Frequency Hopping-Aided Secure Communication in the Presence of an Adversary Jammer and an Untrusted Relay

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) spans various applications in healthcare filed, from smart wearable or implantable sensors to remote monitoring of elderly, and medical device networking. In this paper, a jamming-resistant scheme for the healthcare IoT is proposed to provide secure and reliable data transmission in a two-hop cooperative network, where a source communicates with a destination in the presence of an untrusted relay and an active adversary. The untrusted relay is an authorized necessary helper who may wiretap the confidential information, e.g., the secret measured data of a patient, while the jammer is an external attacker who tries to interrupt the communication. Different from traditional frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) techniques that require a pre-determined pattern between communicating nodes, in our proposed scheme, the source an destination enjoy the local observations of the two-hop channel exploited as the source of common randomness to generate shared secret keys, which facilitates secure communication. To obtain the shared FHSS sequence, a three-phase key generation scheme with minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimators is implemented. For the proposed FHSS-based scheme, we derive new closed-form expressions for characterizing the achievable secret key rate (SKR) to highlight the efficiency of our proposed scheme compared to the state-of-the-arts. Finally, several numerical examples and discussions are presented to gain engineering insights behind the studied communication scenario.

Jamming-Resilient Frequency Hopping-Aided Secure Communication for Internet-of-Things in the Presence of an Untrusted Relay

In this paper, we propose a light-weight jamming-resistant scheme for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) in 5G networks to ensure high-quality communication in a two-hop cooperative network. In the considered system model, a source communicates with a destination in the presence of an untrusted relay and a powerful multi-antenna adversary jammer. The untrusted relay is an authorized necessary helper who may wiretap the confidential information. Meanwhile, the jammer is an external attacker who tries to damage both the training and transmission phases. Different from traditional frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) techniques that require a pre-determined pattern between communicating nodes, in our scheme, the source and destination enjoy the local observations of the two-hop channels. Then they exploit the measured channel as the source of common randomness to generate shared secret keys. By collecting multiple time slots into a frame, the sequence of channels observed in each frame is utilized to specify the adopted FHSS sequence in the next frame. Based on the derived FHSS sequence from the key generation phase, the source starts to transmit its message supporting by the the destination-assisted cooperative jamming (DACJ) technique which prevents the untrusted relay from discovering the secret message. For the mentioned system model, we present new closed-form expressions for characterizing the achievable secret key rate (SKR) and ergodic secrecy rate (ESR) to highlight the efficiency of our proposed scheme compared to the state-of-the-art. We next determine the optimal power allocation (OPA) between the pilot and data transmission phases that maximizes the ESR performance while escaping from jamming attack. Finally, several numerical examples and discussions are presented to gain engineering insights behind the studied communication scenario.
