Abstract :
In the classical Secret-Key generation model, Common Randomness is generated by two terminals based on the observation of correlated components of a common source, while keeping it secret from a non-legitimate observer. It is assumed that the statistics of the source are known to all participants. In this work, the Secret-Key generation model based on a compound source is studied where the source realization is unknown. The protocol should guarantee the security and reliability of the generated Secret-Key, simultaneously for all possible realizations of the compound source. A single-letter lower-bound of the Secret-Key capacity is derived for the case where the public communication rate is limited. Furthermore, a multi-letter capacity formula is computed for the case where the public communication is unconstrained.
