Reconciliation strategies for continuous variable quantum key distribution. This project aims to advance a novel key distribution method, called quantum key distribution, which distributes secure keys using the quantum state of optical channels. Key distribution is a foundational part of data security, allowing digital keys to be securely exchanged between two or more parties, before they are used to protect and share information. The expected outcome is new rateless error correction codes desi ....Reconciliation strategies for continuous variable quantum key distribution. This project aims to advance a novel key distribution method, called quantum key distribution, which distributes secure keys using the quantum state of optical channels. Key distribution is a foundational part of data security, allowing digital keys to be securely exchanged between two or more parties, before they are used to protect and share information. The expected outcome is new rateless error correction codes designed specifically to implement quantum key distribution over long distances. Quantum key distribution is beneficial for ultra-secure communications as it avoids the vulnerability to weak random numbers and quantum-computing brute force attacks that currently threated the security of data protected by existing methods.

Novel Techniques for Uncoordinated Massive Access in the Internet of Things. The IoT (internet of things) is the backbone of intelligent transportation, healthcare, energy and smart home systems. To accommodate the exponentially increasing number of IoT devices, a dramatic paradigm shift towards non-orthogonal uncoordinated (grant-free) massive access is underway, where devices transmit data opportunistically over shared channel resources. This project aims to develop new receivers for such unc ....Novel Techniques for Uncoordinated Massive Access in the Internet of Things. The IoT (internet of things) is the backbone of intelligent transportation, healthcare, energy and smart home systems. To accommodate the exponentially increasing number of IoT devices, a dramatic paradigm shift towards non-orthogonal uncoordinated (grant-free) massive access is underway, where devices transmit data opportunistically over shared channel resources. This project aims to develop new receivers for such uncoordinated massive access, where the receivers will be trained to identify transmitting devices, recover their data, and resolve any collisions. These outcomes are expected to emerge as a game changer in IoT communications, benefiting national and international industry to meet future telecommunications needs for the IoT.Read moreRead less

Fostered by continuous technology advances, a vision of the Industrial Internet is emerging, in which equipment, machines, and industrial robots are interconnected to each other and to the cloud, allowing remote control of industrial processes and critical infrastructure, to intelligently optimise their behaviour with minimal human intervention. Moving from the state-of-the-art small pilot projects to a global Industrial Internet requires wireless systems with consistent high reliability, low latency and massive connectivity. In this project we will develop new communication-theoretic principles and technologies for wireless networks meeting the demands of critical industrial and infrastructure applications in the Industrial Internet era.Read moreRead less

Information-theoretic secure communications via caching. This project aims to address the cybersecurity problem of securing telecommunication networks to prevent data leakage.

This project aims to address the cybersecurity problem of securing telecommunication networks to prevent data leakage. Current widely-adopted data-encryption approaches to secure communications will be broken with large-scale quantum computers, and existing information-theoretic approaches rely on the channel quality of the network. To circumvent these risks, this project proposes a new information security approach using information cached at devices to camouflage data. The project will future-proof secure communication systems against large-scale quantum computers, which threaten current encryption approaches. This should ensure that data transmitted over communication networks can never be revealed to interceptors or hackers, even in public WiFi.Read moreRead less
