Abstract

This paper proposes to exploit the so-called it reciprocity parameters\n(modelling non-reciprocal communication hardware) to use them as decision\nmetric for binary hypothesis testing based authentication framework at a\nreceiver node Bob. Specifically, Bob first learns the reciprocity parameters of\nthe legitimate sender Alice via initial training. Then, during the test phase,\nBob first obtains a measurement of reciprocity parameters of channel occupier\n(Alice, or, the intruder Eve). Then, with ground truth and current measurement\nboth in hand, Bob carries out the hypothesis testing to automatically accept\n(reject) the packets sent by Alice (Eve). For the proposed scheme, we provide\nits success rate (the detection probability of Eve), and its performance\ncomparison with other schemes.\n
