Intelligent Wiretap Code Design: Exploiting Wireless Endogenous Security via Information Theory and Deep Learning Integration
This work addresses the reliance on traditional cryptographic assumptions by proposing a wiretap coding scheme within a semantic communication framework that leverages the intrinsic randomness of wireless channels to jointly ensure security and reliable transmission. The design employs mutual information (MI) and generalized mutual information (GMI) as optimization criteria for two canonical eavesdropping scenarios, respectively, and integrates maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding with deep learning–driven discrete semantic representations. By uniquely unifying semantic communication, information-theoretic metrics, and deep learning for wiretap code construction, this approach significantly reduces information leakage to eavesdroppers of varying capabilities while maintaining high reliability for the legitimate receiver.
