The paper explores covert communication in untrusted UAV-assisted wireless systems. It addresses the security challenges faced by wireless systems due to their broadcasting nature. The study focuses on joint covert and security communication in a two-hop UAV-assisted system. A transmission scheme is designed to use UAVs for covert communications while ensuring message security. Theoretical models are developed to analyze detection error probability, covert and security rates, and optimize them through power control. Numerical results illustrate the theoretical analysis and performance of covert communication in such systems.
The Internet of Things (IoT) technology integrates physical devices, sensors, software, and networks for intelligent interoperability. IoT applications like augmented reality, smart environments, e-healthcare rely on wireless communication with potential security issues. Cryptography and physical layer security are traditional methods used for data protection but do not hide the communication itself. Covert communication aims to conceal user behavior during communication to enhance privacy and prevent eavesdropping.
Research on covert communication includes single-hop and two-hop systems with studies on jamming techniques, power control strategies, channel choices, relay selection, and adaptive feedback mechanisms. Technologies like UAVs and reflective surfaces have been introduced to improve covertness in specific environments like military intelligence or security monitoring.
The paper presents a theoretical model for optimizing secure covert rates under covert constraints and security requirements using untrustworthy UAV relays. It discusses the impact of hovering height, interference power levels, and covertness requirements on the maximum secure covert rate achievable in such systems.
