In wireless communications, the physical layer security is an emerging security research area that explores the possibilities of achieving high secrecy data transmission between source-destination nodes, while malicious eavesdroppers will obtain zero information from the source nodes. In this paper we consider enhancing the security level of a network comprising of multiple source-destination pairs, multiple friendly jammers and a malicious eavesdropper. We propose a distributed algorithm to facilitate secure data transmission from each source to its corresponding destination, through the help of friendly jammers. The key idea behind the proposed algorithm is that the friendly jammers help the source nodes to increase their secrecy rates and in exchange, the source nodes provide monetary compensation to the friendly jammers. We prove that after a limited number of iterations, the proposed algorithm converges to an optimal stable matching. Numerical analysis also reveals that the distributed algorithm can achieve a performance comparable to an optimal centralized solution, but with a significantly less overhead and complexity.
