Three-Stage Coding Scheme for Physical Layer Security ID: 2018-027

A novel coding scheme enhancing security at the physical layer of communications systems by exploiting channel noise.

Technology Overview

This technology introduces a three-stage coding process aimed at securing the physical layer of communications systems. It employs secrecy coding, error propagation, and error correction in a sequence that is decoded in reverse order. By leveraging the noise present in an eavesdropper's channel, it significantly complicates their ability to correct all errors, thus providing an enhanced level of security. This method is particularly effective over real-life channel models, such as Gaussian and fading channels, where traditional information-theoretic security measures fall short.

Key Advantages

• Provides stronger security assurances over real-life communication channels
• Approaches information-theoretic security levels, surpassing traditional probabilistic security methods
• Technology is independent of specific computer programs, making it versatile and adaptable

Problems Addressed

• Enhances security in environments where traditional encryption methods are insufficient
• Overcomes limitations of existing security techniques that fail to offer high-level assurances over Gaussian and fading channels
