We propose a simple yet complete lattice-based scheme for secret key
generation from Gaussian sources in the presence of an eavesdropper, and show
that it achieves strong secret key rates up to 1/2 nat from the optimal in the
case of "degraded" source models. The novel ingredient of our scheme is a
lattice-hashing technique, based on the notions of flatness factor and channel
intrinsic randomness. The proposed scheme does not require dithering.Comment: 5 pages, Conference (ISIT 2013
