This paper employs equal-image-size source partitioning techniques to derive the capacities of the general discrete memoryless wiretap channel (DM-WTC) under four different secrecy criteria. These criteria respectively specify requirements on the expected values and tail probabilities of the differences, in absolute value and in exponent, between the joint probability of the secret message and the eavesdroppers observation and the corresponding probability if they were independent. Some of these criteria reduce back to the standard leakage and variation distance constraints that have been previously considered in the literature. The capacities under these secrecy criteria are found to be different when non-vanishing error and secrecy tolerances are allowed. Based on these new results, we are able to conclude that the strong converse property generally holds for the DM-WTC only under the two secrecy criteria based on constraining the tail probabilities. Under the secrecy criteria based on the expected values, an interesting phase change phenomenon is observed as the tolerance values vary.

Recently, the secrecy capacity of the multi-antenna wiretap channel was characterized by Khisti and Wornell [1] using a Sato-like argument. This note presents an alternative characterization using a channel enhancement argument. This characterization relies on an extremal entropy inequality recently proved in the context of multi-antenna broadcast channels, and is directly built on the physical intuition regarding to the optimal transmission strategy in this communication scenario.

We study the secrecy capacity of a helper-assisted Gaussian wiretap channel with a source, a legitimate receiver, an eavesdropper and an external helper, where each terminal is equipped with multiple antennas. Determining the secrecy capacity in this scenario generally requires solving a nonconvex secrecy rate maximization (SRM) problem. To deal with this issue, we first reformulate the original SRM problem into a sequence of convex subproblems. For the special case of single-antenna legitimate receiver, we obtain the secrecy capacity via a combination of convex optimization and one-dimensional search, while for the general case of multi-antenna legitimate receiver, we propose an iterative solution. To gain more insight into how the secrecy capacity of a helper-assisted Gaussian wiretap channel behaves, we examine the achievable secure degrees of freedom (s.d.o.f.) and obtain the maximal achievable s.d.o.f. in closed-form. We also derive a closed-form solution to the original SRM problem which achieves the maximal s.d.o.f.. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed schemes.
Secrecy issues of free-space optical links realizing information theoretically secure communications as well as high transmission rates are discussed. We numerically study secrecy communication rates of optical wiretap channel based on on-off keying modulation under typical conditions met in satellite-ground links. It is shown that under reasonable degraded conditions on a wiretapper, information theoretically secure communications should be possible in a much wider distance range than a range limit of quantum key distribution, enabling secure optical links between geostationary earth orbit satellites and ground stations with currently available technologies. We also provide the upper bounds on the decoding error probability and the leaked information to estimate a necessary code length for given required levels of performances. This result ensures that a reasonable length wiretap channel code for our proposed scheme must exist.
We study a deterministic approximation of the two-user multiple access wiretap channel. This approximation enables results beyond the recently shown $tfrac{2}{3}$ secure degrees of freedom (s.d.o.f.) for the Gaussian multiple access channel. While th e s.d.o.f. were obtained by real interference alignment, our approach uses signal-scale alignment. We show an achievable scheme which is independent of the rationality of the channel gains. Moreover, our result can differentiate between channel strengths, in particular between both users, and establishes a secrecy rate dependent on this difference. We can show that the resulting achievable secrecy rate tends to the s.d.o.f. for vanishing channel gain differences. Moreover, we extend the s.d.o.f. bound towards a general bound for varying channel strengths and show that our achievable scheme reaches the bound for certain channel gain parameters. We believe that our analysis is the first step towards a constant-gap analysis of the Gaussian multiple access wiretap channel.
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted radio is considered as an enabling technology with great potential for the sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications standard. The achievable secrecy rate (ASR) is one of the most fundamental metr ics to evaluate the capability of facilitating secure communication for RIS-assisted systems. However, the definition of ASR is based on Shannons information theory, which generally requires long codewords and thus fails to quantify the secrecy of emerging delay-critical services. Motivated by this, in this paper we investigate the problem of maximizing the secrecy rate under a delay-limited quality-of-service (QoS) constraint, termed as the effective secrecy rate (ESR), for an RIS-assisted multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channel subject to a transmit power constraint. We propose an iterative method to find a stationary solution to the formulated non-convex optimization problem using a block coordinate ascent method (BCAM), where both the beamforming vector at the transmitter as well as the phase shifts at the RIS are obtained in closed forms in each iteration. We also present a convergence proof, an efficient implementation, and the associated complexity analysis for the proposed method. Our numerical results demonstrate that the proposed optimization algorithm converges significantly faster that an existing solution. The simulation results also confirm that the secrecy rate performance of the system with stringent delay requirements reduce significantly compared to the system without any delay constraints, and that this reduction can be significantly mitigated by an appropriately placed large-size RIS.
