Physical Layer Security 2

Course content

Students will learn how to use more advanced mathematical tools to analyze more complicated issues in physical layer security, continuing the discussion from the lecture Physical Layer Security. More specifically, the sequential key distillation for secret key generation, privacy issues tackled by physical layer schemes, and the more general setting where the eavesdropper is active, are included in this lecture.

• Review of information theory and physical layer security
• Sequential key distillation
• Privacy: differential privacy, stealth and covert communications, private information retrieval, wireless privacy
• Fading channels, ergodic and outage capacities, and artificial noise design
• Finite block length analysis and wiretap code implementations
• Active attacker
