Appl. No.:

13/962777

Inventors:

- Atlanta GA, US
Jeffrey McConnell - Marietta GA, US
Cenk Argon - Chapel Hill NC, US

Assignee:

Georgia Tech Research Corporation - Atlanta GA
Whisper Communications, LLC - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

A61M 5/172
G08C 17/02
G06Q 30/02
H04W 12/02

US Classification:

604 66, 726 26, 34087001, 705 1458

Abstract:

Applications for physical layer security are disclosed. One such application is a system comprising a medical sensor device and a wireless communication module. The medical sensor device is operable to generate data representative of a condition of a patient. The wireless communication module is operable to transmit, on a wireless communication channel, the generated data representative of the condition of the patient. The system also includes a physical layer security module residing at a physical layer of the wireless communication module. The physical layer security module is operable to provide a secrecy zone around the physical layer security module by transforming the generated data such that transmission of the generated data is secured from interception by an eavesdropper on the wireless communication channel.

US Classification:

380270

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods of physical layer security are disclosed. One such device includes a physical layer security module and a physical layer processing module. The physical layer security module is operable to transform user data in accordance with security characteristics. The physical layer processing module is operable to process the transformed data into a format suitable for the communication channel and further operable to transmit the processed data onto the communication channel. The security characteristics of the physical layer security module are such that decoding the intercepted user data by the eavesdropper results in a bit error rate of about one-half.
