Denoising-Autoencoder-Assisted Physical Layer Secret Key Generation

Zhengyu Xu, Shun Kojima, Shinya Sugiura

In this paper, we propose denoising autoencoder (DAE)-assisted secret key generation (SKG), where channel noise reciprocity imperfections induced due to wireless channel measurements are suppressed, hence significantly enhancing the reliability and efficiency. More specifically, the DAE is capable of capturing the intrinsic structure of input distributions, reconstructing the original data structure, and removing additive noise while preserving the essential structure of signals. In our analysis, it is demonstrated that the proposed SKG scheme exhibits higher performance than the conventional schemes in terms of key disagreement rate (KDR), secret key capacity (SKC), and randomness of the generated keys.
