Practical implementations of secret-key generation are often based on sequential strategies,
which handle reliability and secrecy in two successive steps, called reconciliation and …

Challenges and some new directions in channel coding Page 1 328 JOURNAL OF
COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS, VOL. 17, NO. 4, AUGUST 2015 Challenges and …

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are relatively new security primitives used for device
authentication and device-specific secret key generation. In this paper we focus on SRAM …

Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are usually small, low cost, and have limited resources,
which makes them vulnerable to physical and cloning attacks. To secure IoT devices …

Develo** computationally-efficient codes that approach the Shannon-theoretic limits for
communication and compression has long been one of the major goals of information and …

The information-theoretic approach to security entails harnessing the correlated
randomness available in nature to establish security. It uses tools from information theory …

The integration of multiple services such as the transmission of private, common, and
confidential messages at the physical layer is becoming important for future wireless …

Information reconciliation (IR) ensures the correctness of quantum key distribution systems
by correcting the error bits that existed in the sifted keys. In this article, we propose a polar …

Arıkan's exciting discovery of polar codes has provided an altogether new way to efficiently
achieve Shannon capacity. Given a (constant-sized) invertible matrix M, a family of polar …

This letter proposes a novel joint decoding scheme for correlated sources using systematic
polar codes. In the proposed scheme, each source independently encodes its message into …
