In the secure cooperative source-coding problem that we consider, Encoder 1 and Decoder 1 observe, respectively, a pair of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) correlated sources and wish to communicate the first source to Decoder 2 subject to a distortion constraint. Encoder 1 sends a message to both the decoders over a public nonsecure channel, and then Decoder 1—the helper—sends a message just to Decoder 2 over a secure channel. An eavesdropper, which has access to memoryless side-information that is correlated with the first source, intercepts the message sent by Encoder 1 and based on both wishes to minimize its uncertainty about the first source. The secrecy measure of the system is the equivocation of the first source at the eavesdropper. We determine the rates equivocation region for this problem assuming that conditioned on the side-information of Decoder 1 the eavesdropper’s side-information is independent of the first source. To that end, we derive an inner and an outer bound that depend explicitly on the proportional rate that Encoder 1 spends in the cooperation process. Subsequently, we evaluate this region for the case of a doubly symmetric binary source and Hamming distortion.
