Abstract

Secrecy is a key enabler for various wireless applications in which distributed confidential information is communicated in a multilevel network from sources to destinations. Network secrecy can be accomplished by exploiting the intrinsic properties of multilevel wireless networks (MWNs). This paper introduces the concept of distributed network secrecy (DNS) and develops a framework for design and analysis of confidential MWNs. Our framework accounts for node distribution, network configuration, propagation medium, and communication protocol. This research offers the foundation of DNS and quantifies the impact of network configuration on DNS for self-organizing MWNs.
