Creating Secrets out of Erasures

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Aikaterini Argyraki, Panagiotis Kostopoulos

Current security systems often rely on the adversary's computational limitations. Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind of security, which relies on the adversary's limited network presence (i.e., that the adversary ca ...
