Abstract

A secure communication game is considered for the two-user MISO Gaussian interference channel with confidential messages, where each transmitter aims to maximize the difference between its secrecy rate and the secrecy rate of the other transmitter. In this novel problem, the weaker link tries to minimize the extra secret information obtained by its adversary, while the stronger link attempts to maximize it. We provide an information theoretic formulation for this non-cooperative zero-sum game scenario and determine that, under the assumption of Gaussian signaling at the transmitters, there exists a unique Nash equilibrium solution for the proposed problem. Moreover, we obtain in closed-form the optimal strategies (beamformers) at the transmitters that result in the Nash equilibrium. While the NE strategies are achievable in one shot when full channel state information is available at the transmitters (CSIT), we also propose an iterative step-by-step algorithm that converges to the NE point, but only requires limited CSIT. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the analytical findings and to study the role of different channel parameters on the NE strategies.
