Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a very promising technology for the development of beyond 5G or 6G wireless communications due to its low complexity, intelligence, and green energy-efficient properties. In this paper, we combined IRS with physical layer security (PLS) to solve the security issue of cognitive radio (CR) networks. Specifically, an IRS-assisted multi-input single-output (MISO) CR wiretap channel was studied. To maximize the secrecy rate of secondary users subject to a total power constraint (TPC) for the transmitter and interference power constraint (IPC) for a single antenna primary receiver (PR) in this channel, an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm is proposed to jointly optimize the transmit covariance R at transmitter and phase shift coefficient Q at IRS by fixing the other as constant. When Q is fixed, R is globally optimized by equivalently transforming the quasi-convex sub-problem to convex one. When R is fixed, bisection search in combination with minorization–maximization (MM) algorithm was applied to optimize Q from the non-convex fractional programming sub-problem. During each iteration of MM, another bisection search algorithm is proposed, which is able to find the global optimal closed-form solution of Q given the initial point from the previous iteration of MM. The convergence of the proposed algorithm is analyzed, and an extension of applying this algorithm to multi-antenna PR case is discussed. Simulations have shown that our proposed IRS-assisted design greatly enhances the secondary user’s secrecy rate compared to existing methods without IRS. Even when IPC is active, the secrecy rate returned by our algorithm increases with transmit power as if there is no IPC at all.

Pilot spoofing attack brings challenges to the physical layer secure transmission. However, since the inherent characteristics of wireless environment have not changed, active eavesdropping can be detected based on prior information. Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), with the real-time programmable characteristics for wireless environment, provides new possibilities for effective pilot spoofing. In this paper, the IRS is deployed near the legitimate users and the control strategy is embeded into the legitimate communication process under time-division duplex (TDD) mode to assist eavesdroppers to implement pilot spoofing. By designing different phase shifts at the IRS during the uplink phase and downlink phase, the channel reciprocity between uplink and downlink disappears, and thus the secure beamforming vector is biased towards the eavesdropper. Furthermore, in order to obtain more information, the average secrecy rate based on the statistical channel state information is established by carefully designing the phase shifts. The formulated problem is non-trivial to solve. By using alternating optimization and Charnes-Cooper transformation technique, the original problem is transformed into convex form and a sub-optimal solution is achieved. Finally, simulation results show that our proposed scheme poses serious secure threat for TDD systems.

In this work, we investigate the secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) optimization problem for a multiple-input single-output (MISO) cognitive radio (CR) network based on a practical nonlinear energy-harvesting (EH) model. In particular, the energy receiver (ER) is assumed to be a potential eavesdropper due to the open architecture of a CR network with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), such that the confidential message is prone to be intercepted in wireless communications. The aim of this work is to provide a secure transmit beamforming design while satisfying the minimum secrecy rate target, the minimum EH requirement, and the maximum interference leakage power to primary user (PU). In addition, we consider that all the channel state information (CSI) is perfectly known at the secondary transmitter (ST). We formulate this beamforming design as a SEE maximization problem; however, the original optimization problem is not convex due to the nonlinear fractional objective function. To solve it, a novel iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain the globally optimal solution of the primal problem by using the nonlinear fractional programming and sequential programming. Finally, numerical simulation results are presented to validate the performance of the proposed scheme.
