Abstract

For communication over arbitrarily varying channels (AVC), common randomness is an important resource to establish reliable communication, especially if the AVC is sym-metrizable. In this paper the arbitrarily varying wiretap channel (AVWC) with active wiretapper is studied. Here the wiretapper is active in the sense that it can exploit the knowledge about the common randomness to control the channel conditions of the legitimate users. The common randomness assisted secrecy capacity of the AVWC with active wiretapper is analyzed and is related to the corresponding secrecy capacity of the AVWC with passive wiretapper. If the active secrecy capacity is positive, it equals the corresponding passive secrecy capacity. The case of zero active capacity is also studied.
