Secret-Key Agreement Through Hidden Markov Modeling of Wavelet Scattering EmbeddingsSecret-key generation and agreement based on wireless channel reciprocity offers a promising avenue for securing IoT networks. However, existing approaches predominantly rely on the similarity of instantaneous channel measurement samples between communicating devices. This narrow view of reciprocity is often impractical, as it is highly susceptible to noise, asynchronous sampling, channel fading, and other system-level imperfections -- all of which significantly impair key generation performanc…
