| contents | Deep learning draws heavily on the latest progress in semantic communications. The present paper aims to examine the security aspect of this cutting-edge technique from a novel shuffling perspective. Our goal is to improve upon the conventional secure coding scheme to strike a desirable tradeoff between transmission rate and leakage rate. To be more specific, for a wiretap channel, we seek to maximize the transmission rate while minimizing the semantic error probability under the given leakage rate constraint. Toward this end, we devise a novel semantic security communication system wherein the random shuffling pattern plays the role of the shared secret key. Intuitively, the permutation of feature sequences via shuffling would distort the semantic essence of the target data to a sufficient extent so that eavesdroppers cannot access it anymore. The proposed random shuffling method also exhibits its flexibility in working for the existing semantic communication system as a plugin. Simulations demonstrate the significant advantage of the proposed method over the benchmark in boosting secure transmission, especially when channels are prone to strong noise and unpredictable fading. |
