Physical layer key generation (PLKG) can significantly enhance the security of classic encryption schemes by efficiently providing secret keys in resource-limited network like the Internet of Things (IoT). However, reaching a high key generation rate (KGR) is challenging in applications like smart home or remote area sensing with quasi-static chann...

Limited power and computational resources make the employment of complex classical encryption schemes unrealistic in resource-limited networks, e.g., the Internet of Things (IoT). To this end, physical layer security (PLS) has shown great potential in securing such resource-limited networks. To further combat the power scarcity in IoT nodes, radio...

Recently, there has been a growing interest in utilizing reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) for physical layer key generation (PLKG) due to their ability to intelligently configure the wireless medium. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has explored the potential of active RIS (ARIS) in aiding PLKG. Motivated by this gap, this l...

Physical layer key generation (PLKG) can significantly enhance the security of classic encryption schemes by enabling them to change their secret keys significantly faster and more efficient. However, due to the reliance of PLKG techniques on channel medium, reaching a high secret key rate is challenging in static environments. Recently, exploiting...

In next-generation wireless systems ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) have to be realized in support of the Internet-of-things (IoT). However, this is quite a challenge in the face of channel estimation errors (CEEs) and hardware imperfections (HWIs). Hence, we consider a variety of realistic HWIs as well as CEEs and evaluate the av...
