Abstract: In recent years, ensuring communication security at the physical layer has become increasingly important due to the transmission of sensitive information over various networks. Traditional approaches to physical layer security often rely on artificial noise generation, which may not offer robust solutions against advanced interception techniques. This study addresses these limitations by proposing a novel security technique based on non-orthogonal signaling using Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling. Unlike conventional FTN methods that utilize fixed symbol intervals, the proposed technique employs variable symbol intervals encoded as secure information, shared only with legitimate receivers. This encoding enables effective interference cancellation and symbol detection at the receiver, while preventing eavesdroppers from deciphering transmitted signals. The performance of the proposed technique was evaluated using the DVB-S2X system, a practical digital video broadcasting standard. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method maintains smooth communication with minimal performance degradation compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, eavesdroppers were unable to decode the transmitted signals, confirming the enhanced security. This research presents a new approach to physical layer security that does not depend on generating artificial noise, offering a path to more secure and efficient communication systems.
