Robust Destination Jamming Aided Secrecy Precoding for an AF MIMO Untrusted Relay System

Feng Zhou, Rugang Wang, Bian Jiahong

We consider a secrecy dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) untrusted relay network, where the relay is willing to forward the signal to the destination while acting as a potential eavesdropper. Assuming that all these nodes are equipped with multiple antennas, we propose a joint destination aided cooperative jamming and precoding at both the source and the relay scheme, with the objective to maximize the worst case secrecy rate. The formulated problem is highly non-convex due to the maximization of the difference of several logarithmic determinant (log-det) functions in the CSI uncertainty region. To handle this challenge, we propose to linearize these log-det terms. After linearization, we tackle the CSI uncertainty based on epigraph reformulation and the sign-definiteness lemma. Finally, an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm is proposed to solve the reformulated problem. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.

Destination-Aided Cooperative Jamming for Dual-Hop Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Untrusted Relay Systems

Jun Xiong, Longwang Cheng, Dongtang Ma +1 more

In this paper, we consider a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) relay network, where the source, relay, and destination are each equipped with multiple antennas. The relay is untrusted if it is willing to forward the signal to the destination and, at the same time, acts as a potential eavesdropper to interpret the message from the source. Since there exists no direct link between the source and the destination, a positive secrecy rate cannot be obtained. Addressing this issue, we propose a joint destination-aided cooperative jamming and precoding at both the source and the relay scheme: joint source, relay, and destination precoding (JP). We target at maximizing the secrecy rate by jointly designing the source, relay, and destination precoding matrices and propose an alternating iterative optimization algorithm to tackle the nonconvex problem. Then, a comprehensive study on the asymptotic performance is conducted in a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. In particular, we present simple closed-form expressions for the two key performance parameters in the asymptotic secrecy rate, i.e., the high-SNR slope and the high-SNR power offset. Finally, numerical results are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed secure scheme and its performance analysis.

Multi-Terminal Two-Hop Untrusted-Relay Networks With Hierarchical Security Guarantees

Ahmed A. Zewail, Aylin Yener

We consider a two-source two-destination two-hop relay network, where all data communication must be kept secret from the relay node. The model considered is the simplest primitive that embodies a multi-transmitter multi-receiver network that needs to communicate sharing an untrusted relay node. We focus on two scenarios. In the first scenario, each source aims to send two messages to be kept secret from the relay: a common message that should be decoded by both destinations, and a private message that should be decoded by the first destination while kept secret from the second one. We define an achievable rate region by utilizing stochastic encoding at the sources, the Gaussian noise cooperative jamming from the destinations, and compress-and-forward at the relay. In the second scenario, each source aims to send a confidential message to its intended destination, which should be kept secret from the other one as well as the relay. We define an achievable rate region using a combination of nested lattice codes and random binning at the sources, structured cooperative jamming from destinations, and scaled compute-and-forward at the relay. We also derive genie-aided outer bounds on the secrecy rate regions. We present numerical results that demonstrate the performance of the proposed achievable schemes. Overall, this paper provides insights into how to utilize an untrusted relay to communicate to destinations with different levels of security clearance, and how intentional interference is an enabler of communication.
