Key generation from the randomness of wireless channels is a promising alternative to public key cryptography for the establishment of cryptographic keys between any two users. This paper reviews the current techniques for wireless key generation. The principles, performance metrics and key generation procedure are comprehensively surveyed. Methods for optimizing the performance of key generation are also discussed. Key generation applications in various environments are then introduced along with the challenges of applying the approach in each scenario. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future studies.

• Classifications and Applications of Physical Layer Security Techniques for Confidentiality: A Comprehensive Survey (2019, background): “4 In this approach [22], designers are mostly interested in measuring the length of the key extracted from the channel since the longer the key is the better the secrecy level will be as it would be harder for Eve to crack the key.”
