This paper considers asymptotic perfect secrecy and asymptotic perfect estimation in distributed estimation for large sensor networks under threat of an eavesdropper, which has access to all sensor outputs. To measure secrecy, we compare the estimation performance at the fusion center and at eavesdr…
This paper explores in vivo disease detection by nanomachines sensing signature biomarkers in an aqueous medium via the principles of molecular distributed detection from a theoretical perspective. The biomarker propagation model is based on solutions to the Fokker-Plank equation, where comparisons…
We address the optimal quantizer design problem for distributed Bayesian parameter estimation with one-bit quantization at local sensors. A performance limit obtained for any distributed parameter estimator with a known prior is adopted as a guidance for quantizer design. Aided by the performance li…
This paper examines the secrecy in distributed detection under threat of a global eavesdropper (Eve) which has access to all sensors decisions. To measure secrecy, we compare the detection performance at the fusion center (FC) and at Eve in terms of their respective Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD)…
