Achieving Secrecy Capacity of the Gaussian Wiretap Channel with Polar Lattices
In this work, an explicit wiretap coding scheme based on polar lattices is
proposed to achieve the secrecy capacity of the additive white Gaussian noise
(AWGN) wiretap channel. Firstly, polar lattices are used to construct
secrecy-good lattices for the mod- Gaussian wiretap channel. Then we
propose an explicit shaping scheme to remove this mod- front end and
extend polar lattices to the genuine Gaussian wiretap channel. The shaping
technique is based on the lattice Gaussian distribution, which leads to a
binary asymmetric channel at each level for the multilevel lattice codes. By
employing the asymmetric polar coding technique, we construct an AWGN-good
lattice and a secrecy-good lattice with optimal shaping simultaneously. As a
result, the encoding complexity for the sender and the decoding complexity for
the legitimate receiver are both O(N logN log(logN)). The proposed scheme is
proven to be semantically secure.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Trans. Information Theory, revised. This is the
