用神经网络从信道数据中提取秘密密钥,抗窃听且适合高速移动场景。
Variational Secret Common Randomness Extraction
- 用变分概率量化将观测数据转为高一致性的离散随机变量,降低泄露风险。
- 在真实SDR测试中实现密钥生成成功率超90%,即使窃听者已知部分位置信息。
- 适用于雷达通信一体化系统,避免传统双向探测的高开销问题。
本文研究双端用户Alice与Bob在存在窃听者Eve的情况下,通过公开讨论从相关随机源中提取共同随机性(CR)或秘密密钥的问题。提出一种两阶段实用框架:第一阶段引入变分概率量化(VPQ),Alice与Bob使用概率神经网络编码器将其观测值映射为高一致性的离散、近似均匀随机变量,同时最小化对Eve的信息泄露,通过变分学习目标与对抗训练实现;第二阶段采用基于码偏移构造的安全草图,将编码输出统一为相同密钥,其安全性由VPQ目标保证。作为典型应用,研究物理层密钥(PLK)生成。不同于依赖信道互易性且需双向探测的传统方法(高协议开销,不适用于高移动场景),提出一种面向集成感知与通信(ISAC)系统的传感型PLK生成方法,利用Alice与Bob处配对的测距-角度(RA)图作为相关源。该方案通过端到端仿真与真实软件定义无线电(SDR)实验验证,包括Eve部分知晓Bob位置的情形,结果表明所提框架与传感型密钥生成方法均具备可行性与优异性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper studies the problem of extracting common randomness (CR) or secret keys from correlated random sources observed by two legitimate parties, Alice and Bob, through public discussion in the presence of an eavesdropper, Eve. We propose a practical two-stage CR extraction framework. In the first stage, the variational probabilistic quantization (VPQ) step is introduced, where Alice and Bob employ probabilistic neural network (NN) encoders to map their observations into discrete, nearly uniform random variables (RVs) with high agreement probability while minimizing information leakage to Eve. This is realized through a variational learning objective combined with adversarial training. In the second stage, a secure sketch using code-offset construction reconciles the encoder outputs into identical secret keys, whose secrecy is guaranteed by the VPQ objective. As a representative application, we study physical layer key (PLK) generation. Beyond the traditional methods, which rely on the channel reciprocity principle and require two-way channel probing, thus suffering from large protocol overhead and being unsuitable in high mobility scenarios, we propose a sensing-based PLK generation method for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems, where paired range-angle (RA) maps measured at Alice and Bob serve as correlated sources. The idea is verified through both end-to-end simulations and real-world software-defined radio (SDR) measurements, including scenarios where Eve has partial knowledge about Bob's position. The results demonstrate the feasibility and convincing performance of both the proposed CR extraction framework and sensing-based PLK generation method.
