Prototype of Secure Wire-Line Telephone

This paper proposes a secure wire-line telephone prototype that leverages physical layer security (PLS) techniques to protect communications from wiretapping. The system generates artificial noise (AN) in both directions over a telephone line and utilizes a telephone hybrid circuit to achieve effective AN cancellation. We conduct a thorough analysis of the secrecy capacity and evaluate the system's performance through both simulations and practical experiments. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly enhances communication security while preserving the integrity of legitimate signals, making it a robust and viable solution for secure telephone systems.
