Physical Layer Security Techniques Applied to Vehicle-to-Everything Networks (2301.05123v1)

Abstract: Physical Layer Security (PLS) is an emerging concept in the field of secrecy for wireless communications that can be used alongside cryptography to prevent unauthorized devices from eavesdropping a legitimate transmission. It offers low computational cost and overhead by injecting an interfering signal in the wiretap channels of potential eavesdroppers. This paper discusses the benefits of the Artificial Noise and Cooperative Jamming techniques in the context of Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks, which require secure data exchange with small latency. The simulations indicate that messages can be safely delivered even with devices that have low available power.
