Covert Information Mapped Spatial and Directional Modulation toward Secure Wireless Transmission

Jie Tian, Hao Chen, Zhigang Wang +3 more

Recently, the concept of spatial and direction modulation (SDM) has been developed to reap the advantages of both spatial modulation (SM) and directional modulation (DM). On the one hand, DM ensures the transmission security at the expected direction. On the other hand, the structure of SM-aided distributed receivers can enhance the security even if the eavesdropper is located in the same direction as the legitimate receiver. However, the above advantages are achieved based on the assumption that the eavesdropper is not equipped with distributed receivers. On the other hand, the information security can no longer be guaranteed when the eavesdropper is also equipped with distributed receivers. To alleviate this problem, we considered a joint design of SDM and covert information mapping (CIM) in order to conceive of a more robust structure of CIM-SDM. Furthermore, both the detection performances at the eavesdropper and the legitimate user were quantified through theoretical derivation. In general, both the analysis and simulation results supported that the proposed CIM-SDM structure provides more robust secure performance compared to the original SDM, even if the extreme condition of distributed receivers at the eavesdropper is considered, at the cost of moderate performance loss at the legitimate user.

Physical layer security techniques for data transmission for future wireless networks

Weiping Shi, Xinyi Jiang, Jinsong Hu +7 more

The broadcast nature of wireless communication systems makes wireless transmission extremely susceptible to eavesdropping and even malicious interference. Physical layer security technology can effectively protect the private information sent by the transmitter from being listened to by illegal eavesdroppers, thus ensuring the privacy and security of communication between the transmitter and legitimate users. Thus, the main design goal of physical layer security is to increase the performance difference between the link of the legitimate receiver and that of the eavesdropper using well-designed transmission schemes. The development of mobile communication presents new challenges to physical layer security research. This paper provides a survey of the physical layer security research on various promising mobile technologies from secure key generation and keyless techniques, including secure key generation, directional modulation (DM), spatial modulation (SM), covert communication, and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided communication. Finally, the future topics and the unresolved technical challenges are presented in physical layer security for mobile communications.

A unified mathematical model for spatial scrambling based secure wireless transmission and its wiretap method

Feilong Wu, Wenjie Wang, Hui‐Ming Wang +1 more

The spatial scrambling based secure wireless transmission methods, such as artificial noise and antenna array weighted randomly, can secure wireless transmission at the physical layer. They have a common physical essence, that is, the private message is transmitted in the desired direction while deliberate interference is transmitted in other orthogonal directions. Unfortunately, the interference is not white in spatial domain due to the limitation of the transmit antenna number. A eavesdropper can eliminate the directional interferences by the aid of multiple antennas. In this paper, a unified mathematical model for the above physical-layer methods is established, based on which, a MUSIC-like wiretap algorithm is proposed by exploiting the finite alphabet property of communication symbols. Simulation results show that if the eavesdropper has more antennas than that of the transmitter, the proposed algorithm can intercept information effectively.
