“…Research efforts have also been devoted to the security performance analysis of mmWave ad hoc networks. The authors in [27] considered a mmWave ad hoc network with transmitters, receivers, potential jammers and eavesdroppers distributed according to PPPs. They proposed a sight-based cooperative jamming scheme, where each potential jammer that has a non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) link to its nearest receiver but may have LoS links to eavesdroppers is selected with a certain probability to radiate AN such that channel advantages at the receivers can be achieved.…”

<p>While the millimeter-wave (mmWave) communica- tion is robust against the conventional wiretapping attack due to its short transmission range and directivity, this paper proposes a new opportunistic wiretapping and jamming (OWJ) attack model in mmWave wireless networks. With OWJ, an eavesdropper can opportunistically conduct wiretapping or jamming to initiate a more hazardous attack based on the instantaneous costs of wiretapping and jamming. We also provide three realizations of the OWJ attack, which are mainly determined by the cost models relevant to distance, path loss and received power, respectively. To understand the impact of the new attack on mmWave network security, we first develop novel approximation techniques to characterize the irregular distributions of wiretappers, jammers and interferers under three OWJ realizations. With the help of the results of node distributions, we then derive analytical expressions for the secrecy transmission capacity to depict the network security performance under OWJ. Finally, we provide extensive numerical results to illustrate the effect of OWJ and to demonstrate that the new attack can more significantly degrade the network security performance than the pure wiretapping or jamming attack. </p>

“…SISO ad hoc network). The most recent work for enhancing the secure communication of an mmWave ad hoc network in the presence of passive non-colluding eavesdroppers has been presented in [32]. In this work, a Sight-based Cooperative Jamming (SCJ) scheme has been investigated to improve the secrecy performance by utilizing the signal attenuation difference between the line of sight (LoS) and non-LoS (NLoS) links of the mmWave signal.…”

“…In contrast, the AN technique applied in this paper to enhance secrecy performance does not require knowledge of the CSI between the desired transmitter-receiver (Tx-Rx) pair. Unlike the previous works which neglect small-scale fading [23] and assumes a single-array antenna for message transmission [23,32], this paper accounts for both small scale fading and multiarray antenna transmission.…”

This paper analyzes the achievable secrecy rate in a millimeter wave (mmWave) ad hoc network with multi-array antenna transmission in the presence of non-colluding and colluding eavesdroppers. By exploiting the tools of stochastic geometry, the average achievable secrecy rate is derived, taking into consideration the impact of blockages, directional beamforming, and Nakagami-m fading. Moreover, a simple yet effective artificial noise transmission (Tx-AN) technique is applied at the transmitting nodes to enhance the secrecy performance while the channel state information at the desired transmitter is unknown. Numerical and simulation results are presented for the average achievable secrecy rate in the mmWave ad hoc network without and with the Tx-AN technique. For example, at the high transmit power (> 20 dBm), the average achievable secrecy rate with the Tx-AN technique is up to three times higher than that obtained when the Tx-AN technique is not used. Furthermore, the results demonstrate the secrecy robustness of the Tx-AN technique against increasing eavesdroppers' intensity. Finally, the proper power allocation between the message and AN signals that maximizes the average achievable secrecy rate is computed.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…Besides energy harvesting, communication security is crucially important for wireless systems. Recently, physical layer security (PLS) has become an effective method to improve the secrecy of wireless communications without sharing security keys [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. In [ 22 ], the authors proposed a generalized partial relay selection (PRS) protocol to improve the security for CRNs under perfect or imperfect CSI.…”

In this paper, we study the physical layer security for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-based half-duplex (HD) decode-and-forward relaying system. We consider a system model including one transmitter that tries to transmit information to one receiver under the help of multiple relay users and in the presence of one eavesdropper that attempts to overhear the confidential information. More specifically, to investigate the secrecy performance, we derive closed-form expressions of outage probability (OP) and secrecy outage probability for dynamic power splitting-based relaying (DPSBR) and static power splitting-based relaying (SPSBR) schemes. Moreover, the lower bound of secrecy outage probability is obtained when the source’s transmit power goes to infinity. The Monte Carlo simulations are given to corroborate the correctness of our mathematical analysis. It is observed from simulation results that the proposed DPSBR scheme outperforms the SPSBR-based schemes in terms of OP and SOP under the impact of different parameters on system performance.
