Title:
Adaptive Security and Reliability Using Linear Erasure Correction
Codes
Abstract: This study introduces a novel scientific foundation
to manage security and reliability in resource scarce environments such as
wireless edge networks. We present encryption techniques based on erasure
correction codes. The scheme provides adaptive security and reliability depending
on the resource availability, channel error conditions, threat levels, and
the application requirements. To increase the strength of encryption in our
design, we also employ compression, transposition, and intentional data loss.
Due to the XOR based implementation of LEC codes, the proposed schemes are
quite cost-effective and highly scalable. This makes our design suitable
for the development of secure data transfer and storage applications for
industry and government. We validate the scheme through prototypical implementations.
