Title: "The Future of Physical Layer Security: Will It Ever Succeed?"

Abstract:

There has recently been significant interest in applying the principles of information-theoretical security and signal processing to secure physical layer systems. Although the community has made progress in understanding how the physical layer can support confidentiality and authentication, it is important to realize that there are many important issues that must be addressed if physical layer security is ever to be adopted by real and practical security systems. In this talk, we briefly review several different flavors of physical layer security (at least for wireless systems), and then examine the major hurdles that need to be addressed if physical layer security is to become adopted in practice. We will highlight that there are significant opportunities for applying physical layer security to real systems, especially if we can overcome these challenges.
