Abstract: The integration of joint communication and sensing stands out as a key feature anticipated for the next-generation wireless communication networks that can unlock a plethora of new services. Following from that, it becomes vital to bring new security mechanisms that can support the integration of sensing-oriented applications. Traditional security measures are falling short in meeting the strict requirements for short delays, low-power consumption, and low complexity. In this direction, secret key generation (SKG) using channel fading coefficients is seen a promising lightweight security alternative. Although SKG has been a subject of exploration for several decades, practical implementations are rare. This chapter aims at providing an evaluation of the SKG rates across various real-world scenarios. Each phase of the protocol is implemented, showcasing the feasibility of the scheme and proving its potential for the sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems. Nonetheless, our findings highlight that there is no one-size-fits-all solution; rather, parameters should be carefully tailored based on the specific contextual requirements.
