Secret Key Generation from Dependent Source, part 1

Abstract: We consider the problem of extracting a secret key from dependent sources. In this problem, the legitimate terminals observe iid repetition of correlated random variables and wish to create a shared secret key that is secure from a passive eavesdropper using a noiseless public communication channel. Finding the maximum achievable key rate is a fundamental open problem in information-theoretic security. We review the history and the state-of-the-art results for this problem, with an emphasis on the speaker's prior work on this problem. Certain extensions of the problem will also be discussed.
