Traditionally, physical-layer security is achieved by providing the legitimate receiver a physical-layer advantage over the eavesdropper or, equivalently, by making the eavesdropper's channel more degraded than the legitimate user's, in what is known as the degraded wiretap channel. Such physical-layer advantages can, however, be somewhat easily leveraged by the eavesdropper as the latter may, for instance, degrade the eavesdropper's channel through e.g. a jamming signal applied to the legitimate receiver's channel. To our knowledge, there are no works in the literature that have achieved physical-layer security over a channel where the eavesdropper has the physical-layer advantage over the legitimate user. Thus, we take aim in this work at achieving secrecy in such scenario where the eavesdropper's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is better than the legitimate receiver's, a scenario that we call the reversely-degraded wiretap channel. Precisely, we show that by constraining the transmitter's input to be discrete uniform distributed (such as an on-off keying modulation) and by using nonlinear threshold-based detection, the legitimate receiver is guaranteed to have a positive secrecy capacity even though the eavesdropper has a better receive SNR. The former requirement on the input distribution is to limit the capacity gains of the eavesdropper at high SNR. The latter requirement allows the communication channel to exhibit supra-threshold stochastic resonance, a phenomenon whereby noise increases the legitimate receiver's mutual information (and, in turn, the secrecy capacity). A numerical example is provided to confirm the above claims. |
