In this paper, we consider the Physical Layer Security (PLS) problem in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based dual-hop system which consists of multiple users, multiple amplify and forward relays, and an eavesdropper. The aim is to enhance PLS of the entire system by maximizing sum secrecy rate of secret users through optimal resource allocation under various practical constraints. Specifically, the sub-carrier allocation to different users, the relay assignments, and the power loading over different sub-carriers at transmitting nodes are optimized. The joint optimization problem is modeled as a mixed binary integer programming problem subject to exclusive sub-carrier allocation and separate power budget constraints at each node. A joint optimization solution is obtained through Lagrangian dual decomposition where KKT conditions are exploited to find the optimal power allocation at base station. Further, to reduce the complexity, a sub-optimal scheme is presented where the optimal power allocation is derived under fixed sub-carrier-relay assignment. Simulation results are also provided to validate the performance of proposed schemes.
