  4. Abstract:
  5. A secure channel coding (joint encryption-channel coding) scheme provides both data security and reliability in one combined process to achieve faster processing and/or more efficient implementation. The issue of using quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes in a symmetric-key secure channel coding scheme is addressed. A set of this class of LDPC codes has recently been recommended by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for near-earth and deep-space communications. The proposed scheme provides an efficient error performance, an acceptable level of security and a low-complexity practicable implementation. The results indicate that the proposed scheme can efficiently employ large QC-LDPC codes to achieve a relatively smaller secret-key size to be exchanged by the sender and the receiver, and higher information rates in comparison with the previous symmetric-key McEliece-like schemes. Simulation results indicate that there is no trade-off between the error performance and the security level of the proposed scheme unlike that of the previous ones. These characteristics make the proposed scheme suitable for high-speed communications, such as satellite communication systems. © 2009 The Institution of Engineering and Technology
