• Title: Short Blocklength Wiretap Channel Codes via Deep Learning: Design and Performance Evaluation
• Authors: Vidhi Rana and Remi A. Chou
• Abstract summary: We design short blocklength codes for the Gaussian wiretap channel under information-theoretic security guarantees. We handle the reliability constraint via an autoencoder, and handle the secrecy constraint with hash functions. For blocklengths smaller than or equal to 16, we evaluate through simulations the probability of error at the legitimate receiver.

• Abstract: We design short blocklength codes for the Gaussian wiretap channel under information-theoretic security guarantees. Our approach consists in decoupling the reliability and secrecy constraints in our code design. Specifically, we handle the reliability constraint via an autoencoder, and handle the secrecy constraint with hash functions. For blocklengths smaller than or equal to 16, we evaluate through simulations the probability of error at the legitimate receiver and the leakage at the eavesdropper for our code construction. This leakage is defined as the mutual information between the confidential message and the eavesdropper's channel observations, and is empirically measured via a neural network-based mutual information estimator. Our simulation results provide examples of codes with positive secrecy rates that outperform the best known achievable secrecy rates obtained non-constructively for the Gaussian wiretap channel. Additionally, we show that our code design is suitable for the compound and arbitrarily varying Gaussian wiretap channels, for which the channel statistics are not perfectly known but only known to belong to a pre-specified uncertainty set. These models not only capture uncertainty related to channel statistics estimation, but also scenarios where the eavesdropper jams the legitimate transmission or influences its own channel statistics by changing its location.

  A novel arbitrary-in-arbitrary-out (AIAO) strategy makes watermarks resilient to fine-tuning-based removal. Unlike the existing methods of designing a backdoor for the input/output space of diffusion models, in our method, we propose to embed the backdoor into the feature space of sampled subpaths. Our empirical studies on the MS-COCO, AFHQ, LSUN, CUB-200, and DreamBooth datasets confirm the robustness of AIAO.

  This paper studies the study of fault-tolerant channel coding for quantum channels. We use techniques from fault-tolerant quantum computing to establish coding theorems for sending classical and quantum information in this scenario. We extend these methods to the case of entanglement-assisted communication, in particular proving that the fault-tolerant capacity approaches the usual capacity when the gate error approaches zero.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.

  We first introduce the notion of channel leakage as the minimum mutual information between the channel input and channel output. In a broad sense, it can be viewed as a dual concept of channel capacity, which characterizes the maximum information transmission to the targeted receiver. We then utilize this notion to investigate the fundamental limitations of obfuscation in terms of privacy-distortion tradeoffs.
