Abstract: We study a discrete memoryless two-way wiretap channel under strong one-sided secrecy, where User 1's message is confidential and User 2's message is not required to be secret. We develop non-adaptive and key-assisted adaptive inner bounds from a common resolvability estimate for selected index components. For the adaptive construction, we prove a multiround leakage theorem that accounts both for information revealed about a key before its later use and for the possibility that an encoder uses an incorrectly decoded key. The proof includes an ideal-to-implemented coupling, deterministic codebook selection, and a growing-round argument that removes the initialization-rate loss. We eliminate the internal component rates exactly and characterize the adaptive gain at each fixed auxiliary distribution. For an open two-parameter family of binary channels, we also prove a converse for arbitrary non-adaptive stochastic codes and obtain an operational adaptive-versus-non-adaptive separation. For one representative channel, the complete non-adaptive strong one-sided secrecy capacity region is identified exactly.
