It has well been established that multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission using
multiple conductors can improve the data rate of power line communication (PLC) systems …

We consider confidential data communication over power line communication (PLC)
networks. In particular, rather than analyzing cryptographic techniques, we focus on the …

This chapter digs into the secrecy provided and guaranteed at the physical layer, named
physical layer security (PLS), over power line communication (PLC) channels for in-home …

The authors consider the secure transmission of information over power line communication
(PLC) networks. The focus is on the secrecy guaranteed at the physical layer, named …

Power-line communications (PLC) have enabled many smart grid applications over the past
years. Secure communications over such channels, however, remains a crucial aspect for …

This paper investigates the benefits of the existing diversity in the parallel use of both power
line and wireless channels, which is termed hybrid power line communication …

Power line communication (PLC) has enabled many smart grid applications and
functionalities over the past few years. Secure communications over such links however …

Despite providing a wired communications infrastructure, power line communication (PLC)
is broadcast in nature due to the shared channel usage by all intended users. This …

Due to the inherent broadcast nature, power line communication (PLC) is vulnerable to
eavesdropping. Traditionally, the secret keys are generated/distributed by pre-shared keys …

This paper investigates the physical layer security of in-home and broadband power line
communications (PLC) systems threatened by colluding wireless communication (WLC) …
