Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is regarded as the fundamental platform for many emerging services, such as smart city, smart home, and intelligent transportation systems. With ever-increasing penetration of IoT, it becomes of great importance to ensure the IoT security, as the security threats are extended from the cyber world to the physical world. In this article, we investigate physical-layer authentication to help verify the identity of IoT entities for preventing unauthorized access to information or service. Specifically, we propose a Gaussian-tag-embedded physical-layer authentication (GTEA) scheme by using a weighted fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT). Through the superimposition of a low-power Gaussian WFRFT tag onto the message signal, the legitimate receiver can verify the authenticity of the received signal at the physical layer, without being detected by adversaries. Moreover, security analysis shows that with the deliberately designed Gaussian tag, the GTEA scheme is robust against spoofing and replaying attacks. In addition, tradeoff analysis and simulation results are provided to demonstrate the capability of the GTEA scheme in achieving reliability of the message delivery, stealth of the embedded tag signal, and balancing the tradeoff among the robustness of user authentication. Moreover, a prototype is further developed using FPGA and experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance improvement of the proposed GTEA scheme.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
