“Secure Wireless Communications: a Physical Layer Approach”
Abstract
Most of current secrecy approaches rely on the assumption that certain mathematical problems are difficult to solve and the opponent has limited computational power. With the development of advanced computational techniques, these assumptions will eventually become obsolete. At the same time, the broadcast nature of the wireless medium renders the channel more vulnerable to various security attacks, as compared with the wireline network. These factors motivate our attempt to develop information theoretically secure wireless systems.
