A practical physical-layer security method for precoded OSTBC-based systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Güvenkaya, Ertu?rul; Baykaş, Tunçer; Arslan, Hüseyin
In this work, we investigate the security performance obtained by employing a practical precoded orthogonal space time block coding method (POSTBC) in MISO wireless networks. In particular, space time codewords are precoded with an optimum matrix that minimizes the error rate at only the legitimate user (Bob). The acquired results depict that there exists a security gap region in the resulting BER performance as a consequence of using POSTBC. Moreover, we enhance the performance more by developing a new hybrid and green security method called precoding along with partial pre-equalizing (PCPPE). In this method, the transmitted symbols are precoded by a new precoder composed of both the original precoder and a new designed unitary matrix that maps Bob's channel amplitudes or phases estimated over the transmitting antennas into 2D orthonormal matrix. Additionally, three issues associated with the proposed security method have been tackled. Including: The slight increase in the transmit power, the appropriate selection process of the optimal precoding matrix, and the effect of imperfect channel estimation and reciprocity. The comparative simulation results prove that PCPPE method provides a secure link among the legitimate parties without sacrificing Bob's reliability although an eavesdropper is assumed to be fully aware of the used method and the original selected precoding matrix indicator (PMI).
An efficient security method based on exploiting channel state information (CSI)
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Furqan, Haji Muhammad; Ali, Zain; Sidhu, Guftaar Ahmad Sardar
A channel amplitude quantization method that can effectively quantize the channel response using just one single threshold value is proposed in order to extract a random manipulating sequence with good secrecy properties. Specifically, a Time Division Duplex (TDD) wireless system is considered over independent identical distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fast fading channel, where potential passive eavesdroppers (Eves) can only estimate their own channel and have no knowledge about CSI between legitimate communication parties. The transmitter (Alice) is only aware of the CSI of the legitimate user (Bob). Particularly, the proposed security technique takes the bits of the transmitted data packets and manipulate them with a logical vector that characterizes the channel randomness based on the estimated CSI gain. The process of manipulation is implemented on a bit level basis using an XOR operation exactly before modulation process. The same XOR operation is implemented after demodulation process on the detected bits to extract the concealed bits. The obtained simulation results show that the employment of such mechanism can ensure data confidentiality. Furthermore, the simulation results are extended to include the effect of the selected quantization threshold on the BER performance of Eve as well as the amount of information leakage to its side. It is shown that security gap region between Bob and Eve is made very large over all expected Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) values despite the small degradation in the bit error rate (BER) performance of Bob because of the expected channel estimation errors due to noise.
Classifications and applications of physical layer security techniques for confidentiality: A comprehensive survey
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2019) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Furqan, Haji M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
Physical layer security (PLS) has emerged as a new concept and powerful alternative that can complement and may even replace encryption-based approaches, which entail many hurdles and practical problems for future wireless systems. The basic idea of PLS is to exploit the characteristics of the wireless channel and its impairments including noise, fading, interference, dispersion, diversity, etc.in order to ensure the ability of the intended user to successfully perform data decoding while preventing eavesdroppers from doing so. Thus, the main design goal of PLS is to increase the performance difference between the link of the legitimate receiver and that of the eavesdropper by using well-designed transmission schemes. In this survey, we propose a conceptual, generic, and expandable framework for classifying the existing PLS techniques against wireless passive eavesdropping. In this flexible framework, the security techniques that we comprehensively review in this treatise are divided into two primary approaches: signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio-based approach and complexity-based approach. The first approach is classified into three major categories: first, secrecy channel codes-based schemes; second, security techniques based on channel adaptation; third, schemes based on injecting interfering artificial (noise/jamming) signals along with the transmitted information signals. The second approach (complexity-based), which is associated with the mechanisms of extracting secret sequences from the shared channel, is classified into two main categories based on which layer the secret sequence obtained by channel quantization is applied on. The techniques belonging to each one of these categories arc divided and classified into three main signal domains: time, frequency and space. For each one of these domains, several examples are given and illustrated along with the review of the state-of-the-art security advances in each domain. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach alongside the lessons learned from existing research works are stated and discussed. The recent applications of PLS techniques to different emerging communication systems such as visible light communication, body area network, power line communication, Internet of Things, smart grid, mm-Wave, cognitive radio, vehicular ad-hoc network, unmanned aerial vehicle, ultra-wideband, device-to-device, radio-frequency identification, index modulation, and 5G non-orthogonal multiple access based-systems, are also reviewed and discussed. The paper is concluded with recommendations and future research directions for designing robust, efficient and strong security methods for current and future wireless systems.
Cp-less ofdm with alignment signals for enhancing spectral efficiency, reducing latency, and improving phy security of 5g services
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Ankaralı, Zekeriyya Esat; Arslan, Hüseyin
Although orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a widely accepted waveform in many standards and is expected to keep its dominance in future 5G systems with various types of parameterized waveforms, its performance in terms of spectral efficiency as well as transmission latency is usually degraded due to the excessive usage of cyclic prefix (CP). Particularly, in highly dispersive channels, CP rate might be very large in order to maintain the low-complex frequency-domain equalization. In this paper, we propose a novel method that can fit the low latency and high spectral efficiency requirements of future 5G wireless services by eliminating the need for inserting CP between successive OFDM symbols while keeping the whole detection process the same at the receiver side. In order to achieve that, we utilize specially designed alignment signals that can cancel the interference of one symbol on the other and add an additional signal component that makes the signal circularly convolved with the channel at the receiver side. Simulation results prove the superiority of the proposed scheme in terms of enhancing spectral and power efficiency, reducing latency, and improving physical-layer security against eavesdropping while using a low-complexity one-tap frequency-domain equalizer. These numerous, simultaneous, and desirable advantages have the potential to make the proposed technique a suitable fit for future 5G wireless services and applications including Internet of Things-based massive machine-type communication, ultra-reliable and low-latency communication, and enhanced mobile broadband.
Cross MAC/PHY layer security design using ARQ with MRC and adaptive modulation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Yusuf, Marwan; Baykaş, Tuncer; Arslan, Hüseyin
In this work, Automatic-Repeat-Request (ARQ) and Maximal Ratio Combination (MRC), have been jointly exploited to enhance the confidentiality of wireless services requested by a legitimate user (Bob) against an eavesdropper (Eve). The obtained security performance is analyzed using Packet Error Rate (PER), where the exact PER gap between Bob and Eve is determined. PER is proposed as a new practical security metric in cross layers (Physical/MAC) security design since it reflects the influence of upper layers mechanisms, and it can be linked with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for various digital services such as voice and video. Exact PER formulas for both Eve and Bob in i.i.d Rayleigh fading channel are derived. The simulation and theoretical results show that the employment of ARQ mechanism and MRC on a signal level basis before demodulation can significantly enhance data security for certain services at specific SNRs. However, to increase and ensure the security of a specific service at any SNR, adaptive modulation is proposed to be used along with the aforementioned scheme. Analytical and simulation studies demonstrate orders of magnitude difference in PER performance between eavesdroppers and intended receivers.
Enhancing physical layer security of OFDM systems using channel shortening
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Furqan, Haji Muhammad; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
This work presents a simple, spectral and power efficient scheme for providing secure OFDM communication system using channel shortening. The basic concept is to utilize a channel shortening technique, whose design is based on the channel of the legitimate user (Bob), in such a way that the length of the effective channel is made equal to or less than the cyclic prefix (CP) at Bob only, while the length of the effective channel at the illegitimate receiver (Eve) is greater than CP. Thus, this causes inter-symbol-interference (ISI), loss of orthogonality, and overall performance degradation at Eve. The simulation results show that the presented technique can provide a significant BER performance gap between Bob and Eve, and can provide Quality of Service (QoS) based security. The design is shown to be robust against channel imperfections and can provide spectral and power efficiency beside enhancing security.
Enhancing the security performance of ostbc using pre-equalicodization
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Furqan, Haji Muhammad; Ali, Zain; Sidhu, Guftaar Ahmad Sardar
In this study, we first quantify the secrecy performance achieved by employing precoded orthogonal space time block coding (POSTBC) in order to use it as a benchmark for comparison purposes with a new proposed security scheme. In POSTBC, space time codewords are precoded before being transmitted with an optimum pre-coding matrix based on the main channel of the legitimate parties. The obtained results demonstrate a considerable secrecy gap region in the resulting bit error rate (BER) performance due to using POSTBC. Afterwards, a new method called pre-equlicodization (precoding along with semi pre-equalization) is proposed to further enhance the secrecy performance. In pre-equlicodization scheme, the transmitted symbols are precoded by a new modified matrix called pre-equalicodizing matrix. This matrix is built by manipulating each row element in the optimal selected precoding matrix by the corresponding amplitude square inverse of the estimated channel gain over each data stream. The comparative simulation results prove that the employment of the proposed method can provide robustness against eavesdropping while assuring confidentiality and reliability between the legitimate communication parties albeit Eve is considered to have full knowledge of the used method, but not the main channel since TDD is adopted.
Floating OFDM-SNM for PAPR and OOBE reduction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Jaradat, Ahmad M.; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
The novel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier number modulation (OFDM-SNM) transmission scheme offers high spectral and energy efficiency compared to the conventional OFDM; this is due to the extra information bits loaded over the active subcarriers. However, the OFDM-SNM scheme has a high and comparable peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) performance to the classical OFDM. Besides the high PAPR in OFDM-SNM, out-of-band emission (OOBE) often happens between the adjacent blocks. To address the above-mentioned problems, we introduce an enhanced version of the classical OFDM-SNM, where the active subcarriers' positions are cleverly placed to reduce the PAPR and OOBE values. Power spectral density (PSD) and complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of PAPR are used as performance metrics to assess the PAPR and OOBE performances of the proposed scheme. The obtained simulation results exhibit improved PAPR and OOBE performances of the proposed scheme along with almost similar bit error rate (BER) performance as compared to the classical OFDM.
Generalized and flexible modulation options
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020) Jaradat, Ahmed M.; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
Flexibility support is critical for fifth generation (5G) and beyond radio access technologies (RATs) to meet diverse applications, channel conditions, and user requirements. Besides the flexible waveform design discussed in Chapter 4, modulation design emerges as another degree of freedom that can be powerful for the design of 5G and beyond RATs. The basic relation of waveform with modulation is discussed in this chapter. A unified and inclusive framework is presented for various modulation options by exploring different dimensions, including index, number, shape, etc. Furthermore, some future modulation candidates are envisioned for 5G and beyond RATs.
Joint phy/mac layer security design using arq with mrc and null-space independent papr-aware artificial noise in siso systems
(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2018) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
Automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) as a MAC layer mechanism and artificial noise (AN) as a physical layer mechanism along with the help of maximal ratio combining (MRC), are jointly designed to achieve secrecy. Basically, a special AN, which does not require null-space in the channel, is designed based on the quality of service requirements and the channel condition between the legitimate parties and injected to the data packet. If the same packet is requested by the legitimate receiver (Bob), an AN canceling signal is properly designed and added to the next packet. Then, an AN-free packet is obtained by using MRC process at Bob, while deteriorating the eavesdropper's performance. Furthermore, two simple closed-form expressions of the achievable secure throughput are derived. The first one is given in a closed-form for the case of ARQ scheme without AN, while the second one is given in an upper-bound form for the case of ARQ with AN. Moreover, this paper addresses two critical security-associated problems: 1) the joint design of secrecy, reliability, throughput, delay and the tradeoff among them, and 2) the increase in the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) due to the added AN. Finally, the proposed design is extended to OFDM to demonstrate its capability in not only enhancing the secrecy due to the frequency selectivity of the channel, but also in reducing the PAPR and out-of-band emission of OFDM-based waveforms, while maintaining secrecy.
Modulation options for OFDM-based waveforms: Classification, comparison, and future directions
(IEEE-Inst Electrİcal Electronics Engineers Inc, 2019) Jaradat, Ahmad M.; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
This paper provides a comparative study on the performance of different modulation options for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in terms of their spectral efficiency, reliability, peak-to-average power ratio, power efficiency, out-of-band emission, and computational complexity. The modulation candidates are classified into two main categories based on the signal plane dimension they exploit. These categories are: 1) 2-D signal plane category including conventional OFDM with classical fixed or adaptive QAM modulation and OFDM with differential modulation, where information is conveyed in changes between two successive symbols in the same subcarrier or between two consecutive subcarriers in the same OFDM symbol and 2) 3-D signal plane category encompassing: a) index-based OFDM modulation schemes which include: i) spatial modulation OFDM, where information is sent by the indices of antennas along with conventional modulated symbols and ii) OFDM with index modulation, where the subcarriers' indices are used to send additional information; b) number-based OFDM modulation schemes which include OFDM with subcarrier number modulation, in which number of subcarriers is exploited to convey additional information; and c) shape-based OFDM modulation schemes which include OFDM with pulse superposition modulation, where the shape of pulses is introduced as a third new dimension to convey additional information. Based on the provided comparative study, the relationship and interaction between these different modulation options and the requirements of future 5G networks are discussed and explained. This paper is then concluded with some recommendations and future research directions.
New physical layer key generation dimensions: Subcarrier indices/positions-based key generation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Furqan, Haji Muhammad; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
In this letter, novel algorithms for secret key generation from the wireless channel in multi-carrier systems are proposed for ensuring the confidentiality and authentication in wireless communication systems. The novelty of the proposed algorithms lies in the generation of random secret bits not just from the magnitudes of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subchannels as it has conventionally been done in the literature, but also from the indices/positions of the subchannels corresponding to highest gains. Thus, the proposed algorithms provide additional dimensions for enhancing overall key rates. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms is evaluated in terms of key mismatch rate (KMR) and key generation rate (KGR). Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithms can enhance the overall performance of physical layer key-based algorithms by providing extra dimensions for secret key generation.
OFDM with hybrid number and index modulation
(IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 2020) Jaradat, Ahmad M.; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
A novel transmission scheme is introduced for efficient data transmission by conveying additional information bits through jointly changing the index and number of active subcarriers within each orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subblock. The proposed scheme is different from the conventional OFDM-subcarrier number modulation (OFDM-SNM) and OFDM-index modulation (OFDM-IM), in which data bits are transmitted using either number or index of active subcarriers. The proposed modulation technique offers superior spectral and energy efficiency compared to its counterparts OFDM-SNM and OFDM-IM, especially at low modulation orders such as binary phase shift keying (BPSK) that can provide high reliability and low complexity, thus making it very suitable for meeting the requirements of Internet of things (IoT) applications. Bit error rate (BER) performance analysis is provided for the proposed scheme, and Monte Carlo simulations are presented to prove the consistency of the simulated BER with the analyzed one. More importantly, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can offer much superior BER performance compared to that of OFDM-IM and classical OFDM under equivalent power and spectral efficiency values.
OFDM-subcarrier index selection for enhancing security and reliability of 5G URLLC services
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineering Inc., 2017) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Başar, Ertuğrul; Arslan, Hüseyin
An efficient physical layer security technique, referred to as OFDM with subcarrier index selection (OFDM-SIS), is proposed for safeguarding the transmission of OFDM-based waveforms against eavesdropping in 5G and beyond wireless networks. This is achieved by developing a joint optimal subcarrier index selection (SIS) and adaptive interleaving (AI) design, which enables providing two levels (sources) of security in time division duplexing (TDD) mode: one is generated by the optimal selection of the subcarrier indices that can maximize the signal-to-noise ratio at only the legitimate receiver, while the other is produced by the AI performed based on the legitimate user's channel that is different from that of the eavesdropper. The proposed scheme not only provides a remarkable secrecy gap, but also enhances the reliability performance of the legitimate user compared with the standard OFDM scheme. Particularly, a gain of 5-10 dB is observed at a bit error rate value of 10(-3) compared with standard OFDM as a result of using the adaptive channel-based subcarrier selection mechanism. Moreover, the proposed technique saves power, considers no knowledge of the eavesdropper's channel, and provides secrecy even in the worst security scenario, where the eavesdropper can know the channel of the legitimate link when an explicit channel feedback is used as is the case in frequency division duplexing systems. This is achieved while maintaining low complexity and high reliability at the legitimate user, making the proposed scheme a harmonious candidate technique for secure 5G ultra reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) services.
On physical-layer concepts and metrics in secure signal transmission
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Güvenkaya, Ertuğrul; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
Communication secrecy in the wireless systems has unique challenges due to broadcasting nature of the radio waves, as compared to its wire-line counterpart. At the same time, different and independent perceptions of the transmitted signal by the legitimate receiver and the eavesdropper provide new opportunities for secure communication. The distinctness in the physical propagation environment, e.g., in received power, wireless channel, and location of the legitimate and illegitimate nodes, when coupled with random and unique signatures, can be exploited for secure communication without using secret keys. In this paper, fundamental stages as well as requirements of the physical layer (PHY) security in information transmission are reviewed from a novel perspective. Then, main performance metrics in secure communication are surveyed including from information theoretic measures to practical considerations along with associated generalizations. The presented comprehensive viewpoint of PHY security stages and metrics is helpful to better understand the techniques exploiting the physics to secure the information in the lowest layer of the communication system.
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier gap modulation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Jaradat, Ahmad Mohammad; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
A new modulation scheme called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier gap modulation (OFDM-SGM) is proposed. The proposed scheme embeds extra information bits by exploiting the gap between the active subcarriers in each subblock. The proposed scheme differs from the OFDM-index modulation (OFDM-IM), in which information bits are transmitted using the index of active subcarriers. This OFDM-SGM technique provides superior spectral and energy efficiencies compared to the OFDM-IM, particularly when using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK)-like low constellation schemes, that suit the Internet of Things (IoT) applications that have low complexity. The theoretical error performance of the proposed scheme is presented, and the consistency between the theoretically derived error performance and the simulated one is also provided.
Secret key generation using channel quantization with SVD for reciprocal MIMO channels
(IEEE, 2016) Furqan, Haji Muhammad; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
The generation of secret keys from reciprocal wireless channel by exploiting their randomness nature, is an emerging area of interest to provide secure communication. One of the main challenges in this domain is to increase the secret key length, extracted from the shared channel coefficients between two legitimate communication parties, while maintaining its randomness and uniformity. In this work, we develop a practical key generation method, based on channel quantization with singular value decomposition (CQSVD), which is capable of significantly increasing the generated secret key in MIMO systems. This is achieved through quantizing the phases and amplitudes of the estimated MIMO channel coefficient's matrix by using an alternative form of SVD, where the key sequence is extracted from the orthogonal basis functions of the decomposed channel. In this method, it is shown that for an M ×M antenna system, with M2 independent channel fading coefficients, a secret key sequence of length 2M3 can be generated. The extracted key sequence is transformed to a random phase sequence, which is then used to manipulate the transmitted data on a symbol level basis rather than bit level-basis, to provide more secure communication. The comparative simulation results show that the proposed CQSVD method outperforms the state of the art secret key generation methods.
Secure and reliable IoT communications using nonorthogonal signals' superposition with dual-transmission
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Furqan, Haji Muhammad; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
Ensuring secure communication for internet of things (IoT) has drawn much attention because of the limitation in the use of conventional cryptographic techniques owing to the unique features of IoT devices such as low complexity, lightweight computing, and power constraints. Physical layer security (PLS) has the potential to provide security solutions that are suitable for such applications. In this article, an efficient PLS approach is proposed for providing secure communication against external and internal eavesdroppers in a downlink multi-carrier IoT communication system. The system consists of a transmitter with a single active antenna (and a single radio frequency chain) that is trying to communicate with two single-antenna IoT devices in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. In the proposed algorithm, frequency selective channel based pre-coder matrices and dual-transmission approach are jointly employed to provide simple and secure communication without complex computational processing at the IoT devices. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm can provide security against internal and external eavesdroppers and is suitable for IoT devices.
Secure communication via untrusted switchable decode-and-forward relay
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Furqan, Haji M.; Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
In this paper, a practical power efficient technique is proposed for an untrusted decode-and-forward (DAF) based cooperative communication system to provide secure communication between the source and the destination. More specifically, a DAF relay, called switchable DAF (sDAF), is designed in such a way that it can be switched to amplify-and-forward (AAF) in certain predefined situations. The algorithm is based on destination-assisted jamming and comprised of two phases. The first phase securely shares the random manipulating sequence (RMS) through an untrusted relay, while the second phase uses this RMS for secure communication through untrusted relay. This algorithm not only provides secrecy, but also enhances the power efficiency as compared to other destination-assisted jamming techniques.
Secure orthogonal transform division multiplexing (OTDM) waveform for 5G and beyond
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2017) Hamamreh, Jehad M.; Arslan, Hüseyin
In this letter, a secure waveform design for future 5G wireless system is proposed. The developed waveform referred to as secure orthogonal transform division multiplexing (OTDM) waveform, is designed to diagonalize the multi-path channel matrix of only the legitimate receiver (Bob), while degrading eavesdropper's reception. In particular, instead of using fixed exponential basis functions, generated by IFFT and FFT as in OFDM, orthogonal transform basis functions, which are extracted from the Bob's channel, are utilized to modulate and demodulate the data symbols securely. The simulation results prove that the proposed design provides a significant practical security gap between the Bob's and Eve's performance. The design is shown to be robust against channel imperfection, and it neither sacrifices communication resources nor considers any knowledge on the eavesdropper's channel. Besides security, the scheme results in a higher SNR, leading to a 3-5-dB gain over OFDM at BER = 10(-3).
