This new antenna, called the reconfigurable holographic surface (RHS), is lightweight and compact, and it can precisely steer many beams at once. Because of its reflecting characteristic, it differs from the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), which is frequently employed as a passive relay. To leverage the holographic technology and generate the necessary beam, RHS is most likely to be integrated with the transceiver as an ultra-thin and lightweight planer antenna. This has enormous potential to satisfy the growing demands of the future generation network. This paper is the first to study a wireless secrecy communication system with a base station that has and is helped by an RHS. We suggest a strategy for simultaneously optimizing the holographic beamforming at the RHS and the digital beamforming at the base station with the introduction of artificial noise (AN) to attain the highest secrecy rate. However, because of its non-convexity and changeable coupling, this problem is challenging to solve. A proficient algorithm that utilizes alternating optimization and is capable of solving the problem below the ideal level is suggested. According to simulation studies, RHS outperforms RIS in terms of enhancing the performance of wireless secrecy communication systems, indicating that RHS has a wide range of potential applications in the realm of physical layer security.
