Overview:

In this talk, the issue of secure data transmission over noisy channels is discussed. Unlike the traditional approach based on cryptography at a higher layer, we will use a capacity achieving code named polar code for reliable and secure data transmission. The fundamentals of polar codes are first reviewed. Then a new polar coding-based approach to improve the secrecy data rate is proposed. In this approach, we will enhance the performance of secure polar coding by additionally utilizing some simple coding schemes. This new approach will give us useful insights into the fundamental concepts of polar coding and secure polar coding. Finally, we will consider the scenario where the eavesdropper’s channel information is unknown to the transmitter. To make the secure data transmission possible by polar codes for this scenario, we propose a double layer polar coding, and we analytically show that it is information theoretically secure and it achieves the secrecy capacity of the ergodic fading channel.
