Strictly positive secrecy of IoT: A case study involving correlated eavesdroppers

MILCOM 2017 - 2017 IEEE Military Communications Conference (MILCOM), 2017
The evaluation of an IoMT system needs to include the assessment of LPI, LPE, or LPD. To provide a building block for these metrics, in this paper, we introduce the notion of the information-theoretic secrecy. In particular, we focus on the shadowing fading with the log-normal distribution.
