Two Phases

We propose in this paper a physical-layer security (PLS) scheme for dual-hop cooperative networks in an effort to enhance the communications secrecy. The underlying model comprises a transmitting node (Alice), a legitimate node (Bob), and an eavesdropper (Eve). It is assumed that there is no direct link between Alice and Bob, and the communication between them is done through trusted relays over two phases. In the first phase, precoding-aided spatial modulation (PSM) is employed, owing to its low interception probability, while simultaneously transmitting a jamming signal from Bob. In the second phase, the selected relay detects and transmits the intended signal, whereas the remaining relays transmit the jamming signal received from Bob. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of the ergodic secrecy capacity (ESC), the secrecy outage probability (SOP), and the bit error rate (BER) at Bob and Eve. We obtain closed-form expressions for the ESC and SOP and we derive very tight upper-bounds for the BER. We also optimize the performance with respect to the power allocation among the participating relays in the second phase. We provide examples with numerical and simulation results through which we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Secure Transmission

As Internet of Things (IoT) has boomed in recent years, many security issues have also been exposed. Focusing on physical layer security in wireless Internet of Things network communication, a series of security methods have been widely studied. Nevertheless, cooperative jamming methods in physical layer security to fight against collusive eavesdroppers have not been thoroughly studied yet. In this article, we study a cooperative-jamming-based physical layer secure transmission scheme for Internet of Things wireless networks in the presence of collusive eavesdroppers. We design a cooperative jamming strategy without knowing the channel state information of eavesdroppers. Considering the cooperation of multiple nodes with multiple antennas, this strategy can maximize the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio at an actuator (legitimate receiver). Meanwhile, the generated cooperative jamming signals can reduce the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio at eavesdroppers. To explore the theoretical security performance of our strategy, we perform a secrecy outage probability analysis and an asymptotic analysis. In the cases of cooperative jamming and without cooperative jamming, the closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability are deduced, and the influence of system parameters on the secrecy outage probability becomes more intuitive through a strict mathematical asymptotic behavior analysis. In addition, considering the energy limitation of Internet of Things devices, we propose a power allocation algorithm to minimize the total transmission power given the security requirements. The numerical results show the effectiveness of our schemes and are consistent with the theoretical analysis.

Abstract In this paper, a discrete memoryless wiretap channel with non-causal side information known at the encoder is considered. We (i) characterize capacity region for the Gaussian version of this channel by considering correlation between channel input and side information available at the transmitter; (ii) analyze the impact of correlation on the performance of physical layer security in a Rayleigh fading wiretap channel by deriving closed-form expressions on the average secrecy capacity (ASC) and secrecy outage probability (SOP). Further, to more show the impact of side information, asymptotic behavior of SOP is studied. Numerical evaluation of theoretical results is done finally.

In this paper, the physical-layer security for a three-node wiretap system model is studied. Under the threat of multiple eavesdroppers, it is presumed that a transmitter is communicating with a legitimate receiver. The channels are assumed to be following cascaded κ-μ fading distributions. In addition, two scenarios for eavesdroppers’ interception and information-processing capabilities are investigated: colluding and non-colluding eavesdroppers. The positions of these eavesdroppers are assumed to be random in the non-colluding eavesdropping scenario, based on a homogeneous Poisson point process (HPPP). The security is examined in terms of the secrecy outage probability, the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity, and the intercept probability. The exact and asymptotic expressions for the secrecy outage probability and the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity are derived. The results demonstrate the effect of the cascade level on security. Additionally, the results indicate that as the number of eavesdroppers rises, the privacy of signals exchanged between legitimate ends deteriorates. Furthermore, in this paper, regarding the capabilities of tapping and processing the information, we provide a comparison between colluding and non-colluding eavesdropping.

The Impact

In this paper, we study the physical layer security for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-based half-duplex (HD) decode-and-forward relaying system. We consider a system model including one transmitter that tries to transmit information to one receiver under the help of multiple relay users and in the presence of one eavesdropper that attempts to overhear the confidential information. More specifically, to investigate the secrecy performance, we derive closed-form expressions of outage probability (OP) and secrecy outage probability for dynamic power splitting-based relaying (DPSBR) and static power splitting-based relaying (SPSBR) schemes. Moreover, the lower bound of secrecy outage probability is obtained when the source’s transmit power goes to infinity. The Monte Carlo simulations are given to corroborate the correctness of our mathematical analysis. It is observed from simulation results that the proposed DPSBR scheme outperforms the SPSBR-based schemes in terms of OP and SOP under the impact of different parameters on system performance.

Special Cases

In this paper, the physical layer security over the M-distributed fading channel is investigated. Initially, an exact expression of secrecy outage probability (SOP) is derived, which has an integral term. To get a closed-form expression, a lower bound of SOP is obtained. After that, the exact expression for the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity (SPSC) is derived, which is in closed-form. Finally, an exact expression of ergodic secrecy capacity (ESC) is derived, which has two integral terms. To reduce its computational complexity, a closed-from expression for the lower bound of ESC is obtained. As special cases of M-distributed fading channels, the secure performance of the K, exponential, and Gamma-Gamma fading channels are also derived, respectively. Numerical results show that all theoretical results match well with Monte-Carlo simulation results. Specifically, when the average signal-to-noise ratio of main channel is larger than 40 dB, the relative errors for the lower bound of SOP, the probability of SPSC, and the lower bound of ESC are less than 1.936%, 6.753%, and 1.845%, respectively. This indicates that the derived theoretical expressions can be directly used to evaluate system performance without time-consuming simulations. Moreover, the derived results regarding parameters that influence the secrecy performance will enable system designers to quickly determine the optimal available parameter choices when facing different security risks.

Secure Transmission

This paper investigates the secure transmission for buffer-aided relay networks in the Internet of Things (IoT) in the presence of multiple passive eavesdroppers. For security enhancement, we adopt the max-link relay selection policy and propose three secure transmission schemes: (1) non-jamming (NJ); (2) source cooperative jamming (SCJ); and (3) source cooperative jamming with optimal power allocation (SCJ-OPA). Moreover, to analyze the secrecy performance comprehensively, two eavesdropping scenarios, i.e., non-colluding eavesdroppers (NCE) and colluding eavesdroppers (CE) are considered. Based on this, by modeling the dynamic buffer state transition as a Markov chain, we derive the exact closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability, the average secrecy throughput, and the end-to-end delay for each schemes. The analytical analysis and simulation shows that the SCJ-OPA scheme achieves similar performance as the NJ scheme when the total transmit power is small. On the other hand, when the transmit power is high, the performance achieved by SCJ-OPA is similar to that of SCJ. Thereby, the SCJ-OPA scheme can achieve better performance across the entire total transmit power, which makes up the defects of NJ and SCJ exactly.
