Abstract

The broadcasting nature of the wireless medium makes exposure to eavesdroppers a potential threat. Physical Layer Security (PLS) has been widely recognized as a promising security measure complementary to encryption. It has recently been demonstrated that PLS can be implemented using off-the-shelf equipment by spectrum-programming enhanced Software-Defined Networking (SDN), where a network controller is able to execute intelligent access point (AP) selection algorithms such that PLS can be achieved and secrecy capacity optimized. In this paper we provide a basic system model for such implementations. We also introduce a novel secrecy capacity optimization algorithm, in which we combine intelligent AP selection with the addition of Friendly Jamming (FJ) by the not-selected AP.
