Centre for Secure and Reliable Communications
The Centre for Secure and Reliable Communications contributes to developing telecommunication networks that are robust to eavesdropping attacks, interference, and noise.
Research focuses
- Deriving fundamental limits for data transmission in multi-terminal communication networks
- Designing near-capacity codes for various communications channel conditions
- Developing transmission schemes that are information-theoretic secure (which are robust against attacks by quantum computers)
- Enhancing the network capacity by exploiting side information available at the devices
- Optimising and managing radio resources in 5G networks
- Designing protocols to securely distribute data-encryption keys through quantum channels
Research Projects
- Broadcast channel with side information
- Multi-edge-type low-density parity-check codes
- Index coding
- Near-capacity rateless codes
- Integrated Feedback Control in Future Wireless Communication Networks (with Ericsson)
- Secure index coding
- Quantum key distribution (with QuintessenceLabs)
