Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secret key generation (SKG) for static scenarios utilizing the pilot randomization method. In fact, the majority have studied SKG under dynamic scenarios in which a high secret key rate is achievable due to sufficiently high randomness. In this study, we instead consider the static scenario which, though important, is not well-studied. More specifically, we utilize the pilot randomization method, which is known to prevent injection attacks effectively, to randomize the associated channels. More importantly, we derive the secret key rate of the system and demonstrate that the secret key rate of a static system can increase significantly due to the added randomness. The proposed approach is demonstrated against known methods to show its effectiveness in increasing the secret key rate in static environments.
