Client-Server Architecture Design based on Wiretap Codes
Matthieu R. Bloch, Rajesh Narasimha, Stephen McLaughlin · 2008
We propose a method to design attack-resistant client-server architectures based on wiretap codes. We show that by appropriately spreading messages across different packets a client-server architecture under active attack can be modeled as a passive wiretap channel. The secrecy capacity of this equivalent wiretap channel is then used as an optimization metric to limit the impact of the attacks.
