Abstract

En 中文
Wireless channel key generation technology is an important mechanism to guarantee the security of wireless network, but influenced by the key length and the actual electromagnetic environment, wireless channel key generation technology is faced with the challenge of high-key generation rate (KGR) and low-key disagreement rate (KDR). The existing key generation methods also lack the full use of the channel state information (CSI). We propose a key generation method based on multisubcarrier phase difference to expand the randomness source dimension, eliminate the phase bias, offset part of the noise influence, and set the threshold screening data to reduce the influence of measurement error. We further propose a key generation method based on resampling of kernel density estimation (KDE), which yields highly reciprocal randomness sources by resampling the results of KDE of phase difference values. To fill the metric gap of whether a method keeps low KDR while increasing the KGR, the evaluation metric of effective improvement ratio (EIR) is proposed. The two methods we proposed have a higher EIR than the method of using multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) and increasing the quantization level, achieving the goal of increasing the KGR while maintaining the low KDR. The KGR can reach about 12146 bits/s, and the KDR is 1.83%. The keys obtained by both methods can effectively prevent passive eavesdropping and meet the randomness requirements.
