Abstract | Wireless security and privacy is gaining a significant interest due to the burgeoning growth of communication devices across the electromagnetic spectrum. In this article, we introduce the concept of the space-time modulated millimeter-wave wireless links enabling physical layer security in highspeed communication links. Such an approach does not require cryptographic key exchanges and enables security in a seamless fashion with no overhead on latency. We show both the design and implementation of such a secure system using custom integrated chips at 71-76 GHz with off-chip packaged antenna array. We also demonstrate the security metric of such a system and analyze the efficacy through distributed eavesdropper attack. |
