We propose a new scheme of wiretap lattice coding that achieves semantic
security and strong secrecy over the Gaussian wiretap channel. The key tool in
our security proof is the flatness factor which characterizes the convergence
of the conditional output distributions corresponding to different messages and
leads to an upper bound on the information leakage. We not only introduce the
notion of secrecy-good lattices, but also propose the {flatness factor} as a
design criterion of such lattices. Both the modulo-lattice Gaussian channel and
the genuine Gaussian channel are considered. In the latter case, we propose a
novel secrecy coding scheme based on the discrete Gaussian distribution over a
lattice, which achieves the secrecy capacity to within a half nat under mild
conditions. No \textit{a priori} distribution of the message is assumed, and no
dither is used in our proposed schemes.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Trans. Information Theory, Sept. 2012; revised,

We consider a one-parameter family of expanding interval maps {Tα} α∈[0,1] (japanese continued fractions) which include the Gauss map (α = 1) and the nearest integer and by-excess continued fraction maps (α = 1 2 , α = 0). We prove that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy h(α) of these maps depends continuously on the parameter and that h(α) → 0 as α → 0. Numerical results suggest that this convergence is not monotone and that the entropy function has infinitely many phase transitions and a self-similar structure. Finally, we find the natural extension and the invariant densities of the maps Tα for α = 1 n .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
