Provided is a system and method for secret-message transmission by echoing encrypted probes (STEEP). Specifically, STEEP may comprise, in one embodiment, two phases. For Phase 1: Alice transmits probing signals (or probes) to Bob, and most likely and unintentionally to Eve, over one or more probing channels, from which Eve must obtain a noisy version of the probes while Bob may receive a noisier version of the probes. For Phase 2: Bob echoes back his estimates of the probes, but encrypted by his secret, over one or more return channels that have much higher quality than the probing channels in phase 1.
