Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper introduces a challenge concerning physical layer security in visible light communication (VLC) systems. Specifically, it addresses the issue within a closed-off room scenario by employing intelligent reflective surfaces (IRS) to safeguard data transmission. The proposed approach focuses on dynamically altering the communication channel, making eavesdropping attempts ineffective by rapid changes in the multipath channel profile. The efficacy of this strategy is demonstrated through simulations, highlighting its potential for future advancements in the system.
