On the Interference Alignment Designs for Secure Multiuser MIMO Systems
In this paper, we propose two secure multiuser multiple-input multiple-output
transmission approaches based on interference alignment (IA) in the presence of
an eavesdropper. To deal with the information leakage to the eavesdropper as
well as the interference signals from undesired transmitters (Txs) at desired
receivers (Rxs), our approaches aim to design the transmit precoding and
receive subspace matrices to minimize both the total inter-main-link
interference and the wiretapped signals (WSs). The first proposed IA scheme
focuses on aligning the WSs into proper subspaces while the second one imposes
a new structure on the precoding matrices to force the WSs to zero. When the
channel state information is perfectly known at all Txs, in each proposed IA
scheme, the precoding matrices at Txs and the receive subspaces at Rxs or the
eavesdropper are alternatively selected to minimize the cost function of an
convex optimization problem for every iteration. We provide the feasible
conditions and the proofs of convergence for both IA approaches. The simulation
results indicate that our two IA approaches outperform the conventional IA
algorithm in terms of average secrecy sum rate.Comment: Updated version, updated author list, accepted to be appear in IEICE

Principles of Physical Layer Security in Multiuser Wireless Networks: A Survey
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the domain of physical layer
security in multiuser wireless networks. The essential premise of
physical-layer security is to enable the exchange of confidential messages over
a wireless medium in the presence of unauthorized eavesdroppers without relying
on higher-layer encryption. This can be achieved primarily in two ways: without
the need for a secret key by intelligently designing transmit coding
strategies, or by exploiting the wireless communication medium to develop
secret keys over public channels. The survey begins with an overview of the
foundations dating back to the pioneering work of Shannon and Wyner on
information-theoretic security. We then describe the evolution of secure
transmission strategies from point-to-point channels to multiple-antenna
systems, followed by generalizations to multiuser broadcast, multiple-access,
interference, and relay networks. Secret-key generation and establishment
protocols based on physical layer mechanisms are subsequently covered.
Approaches for secrecy based on channel coding design are then examined, along
with a description of inter-disciplinary approaches based on game theory and
stochastic geometry. The associated problem of physical-layer message
authentication is also introduced briefly. The survey concludes with
observations on potential research directions in this area.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, 303 refs. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
