Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

This complete guide to physical-layer security presents the theoretical foundations, practical implementation, challenges and benefits of a groundbreaking new model for secure communication. Using a bottom-up approach from the link level all the way to end-to-end architectures, it provides essential practical tools that enable graduate students, industry professionals and researchers to build more secure systems by exploiting the noise inherent to communications channels. The book begins with a self-contained explanation of the information-theoretic limits of secure communications at the physical layer. It then goes on to develop practical coding schemes, building on the theoretical insights and enabling readers to understand the challenges and opportunities related to the design of physical layer security schemes. Finally, applications to multi-user communications and network coding are also included.

Matthieu Bloch is an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the Université de Franche-Comté, Besançon, France, in 2006, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2008. His research interests are in the areas of information theory, error-control coding, wireless communications and quantum cryptography. João Barros is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, and the Coordinator of the Porto Laboratory of the Instituto de Telecomunicações in Portugal. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), Germany, in 2004 and has since published extensively in the general areas of information theory, communication networks and security. He has taught short courses and tutorials at various institutions and has received a Best Teaching Award from the Bavarian State Ministry of Sciences and the Arts.
