The method comprises: on the premise of effectively preventing an illegitimate user V.sub.e from information eavesdropping, first establishing optimization problems for the purpose of minimizing an energy consumption of a cooperative jamming user V.sub.j; analyzing unique communication characteristics of the IoV based on the Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) protocol, to obtain time structures of physical-layer data packets in the IoV and physical-layer data packet duration; and calculating the shortest physical-layer data packet duration in the IoV; then solving an optimal cooperative jamming scheme for any available power range for the cooperative jamming user V.sub.j; and finally, conducting, by the cooperative jamming user V.sub.j, periodic repetition according to the solved optimal cooperative jamming schemes in a period of data transmission between legitimate users, until transmission between the legitimate users ends.

A system and method for providing confidentiality against eavesdropping and authentication against impersonation attacks for advanced wireless communication systems are disclosed. The method exploits ARQ as a MAC layer mechanism and artificial noise as a physical layer mechanism with maximal ratio combining to achieve secrecy. An artificial noise, not requiring class space in the channel, is designed and added to the data package based on the QoS requirements and channel condition between legitimate parties. Basically, a special AN, which does not require null-space in the channel, is designed based on the QoS requirements and the channel condition between the legitimate parties and injected to the data packet. If the same packet is requested by the legitimate receiver (Bob), an AN cancelling signal is designed and added to the next packet. Then, an AN-free packet is obtained by using MRC process at Bob, while deteriorating the eavesdropper's performance.
