• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 450566247

The goal of the project is to develop a general theory of Post-Shannon communication. Basic new communication tasks are identification, secure identification, common randomness generation, covert communication, and Bit commitment. As a result of the implementation of these communcation tasks in a testbed we want to find new operational communication tasks. Based of our implementation and our simulation infrastructure we want to evaluate the new communication tasks under real world physical channel conditions and system conditions.
