Surveys the research dating back to the 1970s which forms the basis of applying this technique in modern communication systems. It provides an overview of how information theoretic approaches are developed to achieve secrecy for a basic wire-tap channel model and for its extensions to multiuser networks.

Learn how information theoretic approaches can inform the design of more secure information systems and networks with this expert guide. Covering theoretical models, analytical results, and the state of the art in research, it will be of interest to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners working in communications engineering.

This complete guide to physical-layer security presents the theoretical foundations, practical implementation, challenges and benefits of a groundbreaking new model for secure communication. Using a bottom-up approach from the link level all the way to end-to-end architectures, it provides essential practical tools that enable graduate students, industry professionals and researchers to build more secure systems by exploiting the noise inherent to communications channels. The book begins with a self-contained explanation of the information-theoretic limits of secure communications at the physical layer. It then goes on to develop practical coding schemes, building on the theoretical insights and enabling readers to understand the challenges and opportunities related to the design of physical layer security schemes. Finally, applications to multi-user communications and network coding are also included.

Understand key information-theoretic principles that underpin the design of next-generation cellular systems with this invaluable resource. This book is the perfect tool for researchers and graduate students in the field of information theory and wireless communications, as well as for practitioners in the telecommunications industry.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Information Theoretic Security, held in Calgary, Canada, in August 2008. The 14 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. There were nine invited speeches to the conference. The topics covered are secure and reliable communication; quantum information and communication; networks and devices; multiparty computation; information hiding and tracing; coding theory and security; quantum computation; foundation; and encryption.

Information Theory: Coding Theorems for Discrete Memoryless Systems presents mathematical models that involve independent random variables with finite range. This three-chapter text specifically describes the characteristic phenomena of information theory. Chapter 1 deals with information measures in simple coding problems, with emphasis on some formal properties of Shannon’s information and the non-block source coding. Chapter 2 describes the properties and practical aspects of the two-terminal systems. This chapter also examines the noisy channel coding problem, the computation of channel capacity, and the arbitrarily varying channels. Chapter 3 looks into the theory and practicality of multi-terminal systems. This book is intended primarily for graduate students and research workers in mathematics, electrical engineering, and computer science.
