On Secure Free-Space Optical Communications Over Málaga Turbulence Channels

The security issue is investigated from a physical layer perspective in the context of free-space optical (FSO) communications. More precisely, the performance of secure FSO link with intensity modulation/direct detection over Málaga (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathcal {M}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) atmospheric turbulence channels that accounts for pointing errors is addressed in this letter. The closed-form expressions for the average secrecy capacity, the secrecy outage probability and the strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived by considering the specific nature of FSO channels modeled by the general <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mathcal {M}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> distribution. Monte-Carlo simulations are provided to verify the accuracy of our derivations.
