Secure Turbo-Polar Codes Information Transmission on Wireless Channel

Abstract

Based on the structure of turbo-polar codes, a secure symmetric encryption scheme is proposed to enhance information transmission security in this paper. This scheme utilizes interleaving at information bits and puncturing at parity bits for several times in the encoder. Correspondingly, we need to do the converse interleaving and fill zeros accurately at punctured position. The way of interleaving and puncturing is controlled by the private key of symmetric encryption, making sure the security of the system. The security of Secure Turbo-Polar Codes (STPC) is analyzed at the end of this paper. Simulation results are given to shown that the performance and complexity of Turbo-Polar Codes have little change after symmetric encryption. We also investigate in depth the influence of different remaining parity bit ratios on Frame Error Rate (FER). At low Signal to Noise Rate (SNR), we find it have about 0.6dB advantage when remaining parity bit ratio is between 1/20 and 1/4.
