Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) tech-nology has shown great potential in achieving inherently secure transmissions due to its beamsteering capabilities, particularly at higher frequency bands, e.g., Terahertz (THz). However, such a communication band is impaired by atmospheric attenuation...
