Abstract : Physical layer security (PLS) has become the kernel concept for ensuring wireless network security. The main goal of this treatise is to provide a systematic classification of key less schemes. We have classified key less PLS into code, channel adaptation and artificial noise (AN) based approaches and carried out a survey of the diverse schemes employed in literature for key less approach. Further, we have provided the advantages, observations and future directions for each of the techniques. Industry 4.0 revolution with the Internet of Things (IoT) is going to rule the next wireless era with its promising smart home, smart health care, smart retail to name a few. Therefore, we have provided a discussion on the application of key less PLS in IoT. Further, we also discuss about two emerging areas that can be employed for enhancing PLS such as Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We have also provided some of the existing security challenges in the IoT application scenario. We have also presented the open research challenges and future directions in the area of key less PLS.
