As a promising technology, physical layer security (PLS) enhances security by leveraging the physical characteristics of communication channels. However, the conventional PLS approach leads to a considerable disparity in the effort legitimate users need to secure data compared to eavesdroppers. To address this issue, we propose a physical layer deception (PLD) framework, which applies random deceptive ciphering and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) to defend against eavesdropping proactively. While ensuring the same level of confidentiality as traditional PLS methods, the PLD approach additionally introduces a deception mechanism, even when the eavesdropper possesses the same knowledge about the transmitter end as the legitimate receiver. Through thorough theoretical analyses and numerical simulations, we prove the superiority of our method over the conventional PLS approach.
