The jammed OMA model now matches the transmit chain the paper
describes, the key-length sweep averages the eavesdropper over eight
substitute-key draws, and verify_math gains the coded-OMA outage
reference, symbolic checks of the three algebraic identities, and the
cross-period remainder of Proposition 2. The README records the energy
and channel conventions.
Unconstrained key training converged to disjoint sparse supports: 99
percent of each users key energy sat on three or four of the sixteen
entries, with pairwise disjoint supports and one numerically dead
codebook column. That is an orthogonal slot allocation, so the
superposition collapsed into OMA and the key space was far smaller than
the dense direction the brute-force study assumes.
The main configuration is now the structured Walsh-Hadamard family,
which is dense, exactly orthogonal, unit modulus, and already the best
family in the key-family table. base_keys generalizes to any key length
by truncating the next power-of-two Sylvester order, and the key-length
sweep keeps only lengths where the truncated rows stay exactly
orthogonal, verified numerically.
Also fixes the M-PAM energy normalization in oma_ser_keylen, which used
sqrt(6g/(M^2-1)) where unit average symbol energy gives A^2=3/(M^2-1);
the closed form was 3 dB optimistic and now reproduces a direct Monte
Carlo to 1e-5.
Results move accordingly: the proposal now stays below OMA at every SNR
and reaches 1.52x at key length 64, while the jamming margin falls to
5.5-6.3 dB and the brute-force curve to 0.59 at a million guesses.
Resource-match the OMA reference in the key-length sweep (oma_ser_keylen),
which gives it the L/16 combining gain the longer frame allows. The
proposal now passes a resource-matched OMA by 1.27x at L=64 rather than
the 4.3x reported against a fixed-d reference.
Densify the JSR, sensitivity, and brute-force grids so the curves are
smooth, give the index cipher its channel floor instead of error-free
reception, and add the permutation-key known-plaintext attack
(exp_permkpa) so Fig. 7 carries a conventional linear scheme.
Add check_cov_attack.py and check_cov_ceiling.py: a referee raised a
ciphertext-only second-order attack; the exact-population test shows the
received covariance leaks only a sparse rank-deficient subset of the key
Gram and leaves the eavesdropper at the random-guess level.
Dump verify_math.csv, move the superseded V=256 pilot CSVs to data/pilot.
Reproducibility package for the TIFS submission: transmit and receive
core, security stages (eavesdropper, jamming, key families, attack
difficulty, known-plaintext), real BERT token streams, closed-form
verification, and the scripts that regenerate every figure and table
from the released CSVs.
