As investigations on physical layer security evolve from point-to-point systems to multi-user scenarios, multi-user interference (MUI) is introduced and becomes an unavoidable issue. Different from treating MUI totally as noise in conventional secure communications, in this paper, we propose a rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA)-based secure beamforming design, where user messages are split and encoded into common and private streams. Each user not only decodes the common stream and the intended private stream, but also tries to eavesdrop the private streams of other users. We formulate a weighted sum-rate (WSR) maximization problem subject to the secrecy rate requirements of all users. To tackle the non-convexity of the formulated problem, a successive convex approximation (SCA)-based approach is adopted to convert the original non-convex and intractable problem into a low-complexity suboptimal iterative algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed secure beamforming scheme outperforms the conventional multi-user linear precoding (MULP) technique in terms of the WSR performance while ensuring user secrecy rate requirements.
