Terahertz Band: The Last Piece of RF Spectrum Puzzle for Communication Systems (2019, background): “Despite the prevailing expectation of enhanced security for wireless data links operating at high-frequencies, the authors in [284] show that an eavesdropper can intercept signals in LoS transmissions even when transmission occurs at high frequencies with narrow beams.”
Security and Privacy for 6G: A Survey on Prospective Technologies and Challenges (2021, background): “The authors of [125] found that wiretapping THz links is still possible in line-of-sight (LOS) transmissions.”
6G and Beyond: The Future of Wireless Communications Systems (2020, background): “However, a recent study has shown that such pencil-sharp beams are still vulnerable to agile eavesdropping [72].”
Covert Communications: A Comprehensive Survey (2023, background): “Although THz, as a high-frequency communication, has the drawback of severe channel fading caused by spreading and scattering, it can avoid detection outside the beam sectors [211].”
