contents In this paper, we use a linear programming (LP) optimization approach to evaluate the equivocation for a wiretap channel where the main channel is noiseless, and the wiretap channel is a binary symmetric channel (BSC). Using this technique, we present an analytical limit for the achievable secrecy rate in the finite blocklength regime that is tighter than traditional fundamental limits. We also propose a secrecy coding technique that outperforms random binning codes. When there is one overhead bit, this coding technique is optimum and achieves the analytical limit. For cases with additional bits of overhead, our coding scheme can achieve equivocation rates close to the new limit. Furthermore, we evaluate the patterns of the generator matrix and the parity-check matrix for linear codes and we present binning techniques for both linear and non-linear codes using two different approaches: recursive and non-recursive. To our knowledge, this is the first optimization solution for secrecy coding obtained through linear programming.
