Optimization of MIMO STEEP for Secure Communications over MIMOME Channels

Dinglin Yu, Yingbo Hua

A transmission scheme for secure communications, called secret-message transmission by echoing encrypted probes (STEEP), can deliver a positive secrecy rate, even when eavesdropping channels are much stronger than that between users, subject to sufficient asymmetric power allocations from users. This paper considers an optimization problem for STEEP applied to MIMO (or MIMOME) channels between multi-antenna users and multi-antenna Eve. We reveal for the first time a significant increase of the achievable secrecy rate of MIMO STEEP using optimized precoders.
