Secure polar coding with delayed wiretapping information

In this study, the authors investigate the secure coding issue for a wiretap channel model with fixed main channel and varying wiretap channel, by assuming that legitimate parties can obtain the wiretapping channel state information (CSI) with some delay. For the symmetric degraded delay CSI case, they present an explicit weak security scheme by constructing secure polar codes on a one-time pad chaining structure, and prove its weak security, reliability and capability of approaching the secrecy capacity for perfect CSI case with delay CSI assumption. Further for the symmetric no-degraded delay CSI case, they present a modified multi-block chaining structure in which the original subset of frozen bit is designed for conveying functional random bits securely. Then they combine this modified multi-block chaining structure with the weak security scheme to construct an explicit strong security polar coding scheme, and prove its strong security, reliability and also the capability of approaching the secrecy capacity for perfect CSI case with delay CSI assumption. At last, they carry out simulations to prove the performance of both secure schemes.
