Abstract

This article introduces a Non-Time-Limited (NTL) channel sounding protocol designed to generate secure keys in wireless communications, addressing the limitations of current methods that rely on stringent conditions such as channel reciprocity and communication delay. The NTL protocol leverages wireless channel characteristics to generate high-speed, consistent security keys, ensuring absolute security in Shannon’s theory. The article compares the NTL protocol with existing methods, highlighting its advantages in high-speed mobile communications, underwater acoustic communications, and its potential for long-distance communication through relay nodes. Additionally, the authors propose a relay-assisted secret extension mechanism to enhance defense against collaborative eavesdropping. The paper concludes with simulation results demonstrating the superior performance of the NTL protocol in various communication scenarios, making it a promising solution for secure key generation in wireless networks.
