Abstract
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have manifested huge potential in enhancing information security by actively intervening the wireless propagation, yet the security gain may still be limited depending on the RIS deployment. In this paper, we propose to employ an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounting a RIS to enable on-demand reflection, noted as an aerial RIS (ARIS). The ARIS is then exploited to assist the anti-eavesdropping communications established through a conventional fixed-deployed RIS to further enhance the wireless secrecy. The secure communication is investigated by jointly optimizing the reflection at both RISs as well as the trajectory of the ARIS to maximize the average secrecy rate during the flight. To facilitate effective algorithm design, the formulated security problem is decomposed and solved in a double-layer framework. The outer layer tackles the flying trajectory through deep reinforcement learning while the inner layer solves for reflection phase shift design with manifold optimization. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the learned trajectory in various topologies as well as the superior performance of our proposal in terms of security provisioning.

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
