Free-space optical channel estimation for physical layer security
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present experimental data on message transmission in a free-space optical (FSO) link at an eye-safe wavelength, using a testbed consisting of one sender and two receiver terminals, where the latter two are a legitimate receiver and an eavesdropper. The testbed allows us to emulate a typical scenario of physical-layer (PHY) security such as satellite-to-ground laser communications. We estimate information-theoretic metrics including secrecy rate, secrecy outage probability, and expected code lengths for given secrecy criteria based on observed channel statistics. We then discuss operation principles of secure message transmission under realistic fading conditions, and provide a guideline on a multi-layer security architecture by combining PHY security and upper-layer (algorithmic) security.

Emerging Trends in ICT Security
Optical networks form the backbone of the Internet and are an integral constituent of the physical layer of these networks. Since the physical layer forms the bottom layer in the open systems interconnection (OSI) model [1], the performance and security of the physical layer and especially optical networks have a critical influence on the six layers above it. For example, the channel capacity o...

متن کاملIncremental adaptive networks implemented by free space optical (FSO) communication
The aim of this paper is to fully analyze the effects of free space optical (FSO) communication links on the estimation performance of the adaptive incremental networks. The FSO links in this paper are described with two turbulence models namely the Log-normal and Gamma-Gamma distributions. In order to investigate the impact of these models we produced the link coefficients using these distribu...
متن کاملOptimal SVD-based Precoding for Secret Key Extraction from Correlated OFDM Sub-Channels
Secret key extraction is a crucial issue in physical layer security and a less complex and, at the same time, a more robust scheme for the next generation of 5G and beyond. Unlike previous works on this topic, in which Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) sub-channels were considered to be independent, the effect of correlation between sub-channels on the secret key rate is address...
متن کاملPhysical Layer Security of Generalised Pre-coded Spatial Modulation with Antenna Scrambling
In the last decade or so, physical layer security had been an active research area drawing substantial attentions and collaborative efforts across different societies. Complementary to the conventional application layer security approach dominantly based on cryptography that is potentially vulnerable to quantum computationally capable eavesdropper, physical layer security was envisioned of prov...
