| Popis: | The rapid development of advanced computing technologies such as quantum computing imposes new challenges to current wireless security mechanism which is based on cryptographic approaches. To deal with various attacks and realize long-lasting security, we are in urgent need of disruptive security solutions. In this article, novel security transmission paradigms are proposed to approach Shannon's one-time pad perfect secrecy. First, two metrics, termed as Degree-of-Approaching (DoA) and Degree-of-Synchronous-Approaching (DoSA), are developed to characterize the closeness between the achieved security strength and perfect secrecy. These two metrics also serve as a guideline for secure transmission protocol design. After that, we present two paths towards Shannon's one-time pad, i.e., an explicit-encryption based approach and an implicit-encryption based approach. For both of them, we discuss the architecture design, enabling technologies, as well as preliminary performance evaluation results. The techniques presented in this article provide promising security-enhancing solutions for future wireless networks. Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures |
