In this paper, we study the problem of secret communication over a Compound Multiple Access Channel (MAC). In this channel, we assume that one of the transmitted messages is confidential that is only decoded by its corresponding receiver and kept secret from the other receiver. For this proposed setting (compound MAC with confidential messages), we derive general inner and outer bounds on the secrecy capacity region. Also, as examples, we investigate 'Less noisy' and 'Gaussian' versions of this channel, and extend the results of the discrete memoryless version to these cases. Moreover, providing numerical examples for the Gaussian case, we illustrate the comparison between achievable rate... 

In this paper we consider a cognitive interference channel with two confidential messages. In our scenario, although the cognitive transmitter cooperates with the primary sender, the primary and cognitive messages must be secure at unintended receivers. The level of secrecy is measured by the equivocation rate. Also an expression is obtained for the rate-equivocation region of the discrete memoryless cognitive interference channel with confidential primary and secondary messages  

The authors study the problem of secret communication over a multiple-access channel with a common message. Here, the authors assume that two transmitters have confidential messages, which must be kept secret from the wiretapper (the second receiver), and both of them have access to a common message which can be decoded by the two receivers. The authors call this setting as multiple-access wiretap channel with common message (MAWC-CM). For this setting, the authors derive general inner and outer bounds on the secrecy capacity region for the discrete memoryless case and show that these bounds meet each other for a special case called the switch channel. As well, for a Gaussian version of... 

In this study, the authors consider the secrecy of a one-receiver, two-eavesdropper broadcast channel (BC) with three degraded message sets. Consider a three-receiver BC with three messages, where the first message is decoded by all the receivers. The second message is decoded by the first and the second receivers and is to be kept secret from the third receiver. The third message is decoded by the first receiver and is to be kept secret from the second and the third receivers. The authors consider the imperfect secrecy condition at the second receiver, that is, it is allowed to partially decode the third message. However, the perfect secrecy condition at the third receiver, does not allow...
