Abstract: As one of the promising technologies of 6G, dual-function radar communication (DFRC) integrates communication and radar sensing networks. However, with the application and deployment of DFRC, its security problem has become a significantly important issue. In this paper, we consider the physical layer security of a DFRC system where the base station communicates with multiple legitimate users and simultaneously detects the sensing target of interest. The sensing target is also a potential eavesdropper wiretapping the secure transmission. To this end, we proposed a secure design based on partial group successive interference cancellation through fully leveraging the split messages and partially decoding to improve the rate increment of legitimate users. In order to maximize the radar echo signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we formulate an optimization problem of beamforming and consider introducing new variables and relaxing the problem to solve the non-convexity of the problem. Then, we propose a joint secure beamforming and rate optimization algorithm to solve the problem. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our design in improving the sensing and secrecy performance of the considered DFRC system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
