Abstract

The problem of when all terminals must talk to achieve the secrecy capacity in the multiterminal source model is investigated. Two conditions under which respectively a given terminal does not need to and must talk to achieve the secrecy capacity are characterized. The cases when all terminals must talk to achieve secrecy capacity are shown to be many more than those conjectured in [1] for systems with four or more terminals. There is a gap between the above two conditions, in which whether a given terminal need to talk is not clear. A conjecture is further made in order to narrow down the gap.
