Reliability Criteria in Source Coding Problem with Secret Component
Keywords:
Rate-reliability-distortion-equivocation function, Source codingAbstract
This work addresses a source coding problem for one-way sources with correlated outputs. In this scenario, one source output must be transmitted to the receiver within a specified distortion level, similar to conventional source coding. Simultaneously,
the other source output must be kept as confidential as possible from the receiver or a potential wiretapper. For this model, the rate-reliability-distortion-equivocation function and the equivocation-reliability-distortion function are defined and analyzed.
