GLOBECOM 2013 Workshop on Trusted Communications with Physical Layer Security (TCPLS)

 

Atlanta, GA USA
December 9th – 13th 2013

 
Background and Goals

Transmissions in wireless systems are exposed to eavesdroppers that may intercept the information exchange between legitimate terminals and decrypt confidential messages. Over the past few years the wireless communications community has turned the attention to physical layer security, a promising new layer of defense to realize wireless secrecy communications independent of the conventional cryptosystems that typically assume limited computational complexity of eavesdroppers. The idea behind physical layer security is to exploit the uncorrelated nature of the wireless medium with the aim to maximize the uncertainty about the source messages at the eavesdropper.The objective of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry for discussion and technical presentations on fundamental and practically relevant questions related to many challenges arising from secure physical layer communications. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Methodologies and architectures for physical layer security
  • Signal processing for physical layer security
  • Fundamental theory for physical layer security
  • Secrecy diversity for MIMO Gaussian wiretap channels
  • Advanced spatial diversity for physical layer security
  • Secure cooperative communications
  • Secure two-way cooperative communications
  • secure MIMO communications
  • Secure cognitive radio systems based on physical layer security
  • Cross-layer optimization to augment the security of wireless systems
  • Optimization and game theory for physical layer security
  • Security and privacy in Internet of Things
  • Mobile and wireless network security
  • Security and quantum communications
  • Trust, security and privacy in e-government, e-systems & social networking
  • Trust, security and privacy in cloud computing
  • Secrecy coding and decoding
