For exploiting the lightweight security mechanism for resource-constrained networks, an efficient secure coding scheme is proposed in conjunction with the inherent mix- ing characteristic of network coding. The key idea is to minimize the randomizing operations to the entire plaintext data.

For exploiting low-overhead mechanism for secure network coding against wiretapping, three efficient schemes are proposed for the applications with different security requirements. The basic idea behind this paper is first to encrypt a small part of source vectors and then subject the remaining original source vectors and the encrypted vectors to a special linear transformation. Also, a lightweight version of this scheme is then presented for resource-constrained networks. Moreover, an extensive scheme with enhanced security is also considered. All proposals are shown to have properties of lower security complexity and smaller bandwidth usage compared with the existing solutions. Also, the proposals can be easy to achieve flexible levels of security for various applications.展开更多

To decrease transmission overhead of the shared secret information and enhance the security performance against an attacker, we have employed the two following encryption technologies: Firstly, randomization of output bits is not dependent on the traditional randomized bit-channels but they are directly flipped through the random bit sequence. Secondly, for employing Advanced Encryption Standard(AES), we utilize the secret seed to extend an initial secret key of AES cryptosystem, which it appears a good avalanche performance. Result analyses demonstrate that the proposed scheme is strongly resistant against conventional attacks.展开更多

Diversity order and array gain were also achieved for further insight. The study was based on the information theory that physical layer security can be guaranteed when the quality of the main channel is higher than that of the eavesdropper's channel. Monte Carlo simulations well validated the numerical results of analytic expressions. It was shown that antenna correlation is detrimental to secrecy performance when average SNR of the main channel is at medium and high level. Interestingly, when average SNR of the main channel reduces to low level, the effect of antenna correlation becomes benefi cial to secrecy performance.展开更多

They also gave the construction for searching such an n × n nonsingular matrix Q. In this paper, we find that their method implies an efficient construction of Q. That is to say, Q can be taken as a special block lower triangular matrix with diagonal subblocks being the(n- r) ×(n- r)and r × r identity matrices, respectively. Moreover, complexity analysis is made to show the efficiency of the specific construction.展开更多

The security was measured in the probability with which an eavesdropper guessed the source message successfully. With the methods of linear algebra and combinatorics, an analytic solution of the probability was obtained. Performance of subspace code was compared to several secure network coding schemes from the perspective of security, flexibility, complexity, and independence, etc. The comparison showed subspace code did not have perfect security, but it achieved probabilistic security with low complexity. As a result, subspace code was suitable to the applications with limited computation and moderate security requirement.展开更多
