Summary: 
In this paper, a deep learning-based secret key generation scheme is proposed for FDD multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We built an encoder-decoder based convolutional neural network to characterize the wireless environment to learn the mapping relationship between the uplink and downlink channel. The designed neural network can accurately predict the downlink channel state information based on the estimated uplink channel state information without any information feedback. Random secret keys can be generated from downlink channel responses predicted by the neural network. Simulation results show that deep learning based SKG scheme can achieve significant performance improvement in terms of the key agreement ratio and achievable secret key rate.
