Abstract

We study a secure communication scenario in which the channel is under two classes of attacks at the same time: a passive eavesdropper and an active jammer. This scenario is modelled using the arbitrarily varying wiretap channel (AVWC), in which the channel varies from one channel use to the other. It has been shown that in general reliable communication over AVWCs requires some sort of coordination between the transmitter and the legitimate receiver. However, most of the established coding techniques use an amount of coordination resources that grows with the code block length. Recently, it was shown that if we allow for a small but non vanishing average error probability and weak secrecy information leakage, we can construct a correlated random code that only requires finite coordination resources. In this paper, we extend this result to the strong secrecy criterion. In particular, we show that we can construct a correlated random code with finite correlated randomness, such that the information leakage in terms of the strong secrecy criterion decays exponentially fast.
