This tutorial reviews fundamental contributions to information security. An integrative
viewpoint is taken that explains the security metrics, including secrecy, privacy, and others …

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

This work considers the problem of mitigating information leakage between communication
and sensing in systems jointly performing both operations. Specifically, a discrete …

Abstract Information reconciliation is an essential part of physical-layer based key
agreement. It enables the equalization of similar, but disagreeing channel observations of …

The task of manipulating correlated random variables in a distributed setting has received
attention in the fields of both Information Theory and Computer Science. Often shared …

The two-terminal key agreement problem with biometric or physical identifiers is considered.
Two linear code constructions based on Wyner-Ziv coding are developed. The first …

The key-leakage-storage region is derived for a generalization of a classic two-terminal key
agreement model. The additions to the model are that the encoder observes a hidden, or …

This thesis addresses security and privacy problems for digital devices and biometrics,
where a secret key is generated for authentication, identification, or secure computations. A …

This work considers mitigation of information leakage between communication and sensing
operations in joint communication and sensing systems. Specifically, a discrete memoryless …

In this paper, we propose a new system for a sequential secret key agreement based on 6
performance metrics derived from asynchronously recorded EEG signals using an EMOTIV …
