Summary	There are four major goals in this study: a) to propose a physical layer security (PHYSEC) technique for data and communications transmission based on space-time coding or multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology, b) to explore and identify useful performance metrics used in encryption and/or cryptographic techniques, c) to evaluate the corresponding performance metrics for the physical security proposed, and d) to compare performance metrics and/or perform trade off study with the use of those metrics between encryption and/or cryptography to the proposed physical layer technique. In this proposal, the performance metrics may be in terms of information-theoretic measures (such as entropy or mutual information), hardware cost, and decoding latency.
