Abstract
In secret key generation of physical layer security technology, it is challenging to achieve high key capacity and low bit inconsistency rate. This paper investigates intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted secret key generation, which aims to maximize the secret key capacity by adjusting the placement of the IRS units. Specifically, we first analyze and deduce the key capacity expression of the IRS-assisted system from the perspective of information theory. Then we investigate how to use the channel state information (CSI) to place the IRS units effectively so as to maximize the secret key capacity. Simulation results show that our scheme could improve the quality of secret key generation significantly.
