Cloud Overlap Lemma Previous Encounters Wyner, used divergence Han-Verdú, general channels, used total variation Cuff 08, 09, 10, provide simple proof and utilize for secrecy encoding P X|U (x|u) Memoryless Channel

Reverse Channel Encoder For simplicity, ignore the key K, and consider J a to be the part of the message that the adversary obtains. (i.e. J = (J a, J s ), and ignore J s for now) Construct a joint distribution between the source X n and the information J a (revealed to the Adversary) using a memoryless channel. P X|U (x|u) Memoryless Channel

Simple Analysis This encoder yields a very simple analysis and convenient properties 1.If |J a | is large enough, then X n will be nearly i.i.d. in total variation 2.Performance: P X|U (x|u) Memoryless Channel
