It has been proposed recently an approach to generate secret key exploiting reactance-domain scalar response of multipath fading channel. However, the security of the shared key has not been adequately investigated. In this paper we propose a mathematical model of the key distribution protocol based on the use of a Variable-Directional Antenna (VDA) acting on multipath wireless channels. The security...
