Secrecy capacity of wireless links subject to log-normal fading

In this paper, we investigate the information-theoretic secrecy for the log-normal fading channel. In particular, we derive the closed-form expressions of the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity for two wireless communication systems, with single eavesdropper and double eavesdroppers, respectively.
