| contents | This paper presents a secrecy performance study of a wiretap communication system with finite blocklength (FBL) transmissions over Rayleigh fading channels, based on the definition of an average information leakage (AIL) metric. We evaluate the exact and closed-form approximate AIL performance, assuming that only statistical channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropping link is available. Then, we reveal an inherent statistical relationship between the AIL metric in the FBL regime and the commonly-used secrecy outage probability in conventional infinite blocklength communications. Aiming to improve the secure communication performance of the considered system, we formulate a blocklength optimization problem and solve it via a low-complexity approach. Next, we present numerical results to verify our analytical findings and provide various important insights into the impacts of system parameters on the AIL. Specifically, our results indicate that i) compromising a small amount of AIL can lead to significant reliability improvements, and ii) the AIL experiences a secrecy floor in the high signal-to-noise ratio regime. |
