Overview

The main goal of this workshop is twofold. First, this workshop will serve as a means of dissemination of physical layer security results that are often confined to the information theory community to a wider audience that IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) enjoys, e.g., researchers from communications, signal processing and networking communities. Second, this workshop will stimulate interest for research in practical aspects of physical-layer security. This cross-fertilization will benefit not only the physical-layer security research, by attracting a more diverse group of researchers who will come with their rich body of new ideas, but also the CNS community, by presenting a new body of open problems with significant theoretical and practical impact on the design of future wireless communication networks.

Previously unpublished contributions in physical-layer security are solicited, including (but not limited to):

• Secrecy capacity of wireless channels

• Secure communication under adversarial attacks

• Practical code design for physical layer security

• Secure cross-layer design techniques

• Secure communication with an uncertain physical layer

• Information theoretic approaches for authentication

• Jamming-assisted secure wireless transmission

• Cooperative secure communications

• Secret key generation and agreement

• Secret key capacity of wireless channels

• Practical and implementation issues

Submitted papers should be of sufficient length and detail for review by experts in the field.  For more information, please contact the workshop organizers Rafael F. Schaefer, H. Vincent Poor or Holger Boche.
