The random nature of wireless channel can be utilized to achieve secure communications. Recently, there have been some contributions towards finding practical approaches to provide physical layer security, but robust and secure channel estimates are critical in achieving secrecy. In this paper, we propose that in-band full-duplex communication can be utilized by the legitimate transceiver pair to mask the channel estimates from the eavesdropper. The proposed secure channel estimation technique comprises of two stages. In the first stage, the self- interference channel is estimated by respective nodes. In the second stage, in-band full-duplex transmission from both legitimate nodes is utilized to achieve channel estimates at legitimate nodes while providing equivocation at the eavesdropper. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme provides robust channel estimation at the legitimate nodes while maintaining equivocation at the eavesdropper.
