• Title: Secure Communication with Unreliable Entanglement Assistance
• Authors: Meir Lederman and Uzi Pereg
• Abstract summary: Unreliable entanglement assistance is considered with secure communication. The communication setting of unreliable assistance, without security aspects, was originally motivated by the extreme photon loss in practical communication systems. An achievable secrecy rate region is derived for general quantum wiretap channels, and a multi-letter secrecy capacity formula for the special class of degraded channels.

• Abstract: Secure communication is considered with unreliable entanglement assistance, where the adversary may intercept the legitimate receiver's entanglement resource before communication takes place. The communication setting of unreliable assistance, without security aspects, was originally motivated by the extreme photon loss in practical communication systems. The operational principle is to adapt the transmission rate to the availability of entanglement assistance, without resorting to feedback and repetition. Here, we require secrecy as well. An achievable secrecy rate region is derived for general quantum wiretap channels, and a multi-letter secrecy capacity formula for the special class of degraded channels.

  This letter explores the positive side of the adversarial attack for the security-aware semantic communication system. A pair of matching pluggable modules is installed: one after the semantic transmitter and the other before the semantic receiver. The proposed scheme is capable of fooling the eavesdropper while maintaining the high-quality semantic communication.

We prove the validity of the PLD framework with in-depth analyses and demonstrate its superiority over conventional PLS approaches.

  This paper explores opportunities and challenges of task (goal)-oriented and semantic communications for next-generation (NextG) networks through the integration of multi-task learning. We employ deep neural networks representing a dedicated encoder at the transmitter and multiple task-specific decoders at the receiver. We scrutinize potential vulnerabilities stemming from adversarial attacks during both training and testing phases.

  Entanglement resources can increase transmission rates substantially. In order to generate entanglement for optical communication, the transmitter first prepares an entangled photon pair locally. Without feedback, the transmitter does not know whether the entangled photon has reached the receiver.
