This paper explores the joint secrecy and delay guarantees based on opportunistic jamming and link selection in a wireless relay system consisting of a source, a destination, multiple buffer-aided relays and a passive eavesdropper wiretapping over both hops. Based on the information of link state and buffer status, we design a novel transmission scheme based on link selection and jammer selection, which dynamically grants transmission links different priorities for packet delivery, such that the constraints on both secrecy outage probability and packet delay are jointly satisfied. To understand the performance of the new scheme, we then apply the bitmap technique and Markov chain theory to develop a complete theoretical framework for the modelling of three fundamental metrics, namely reliability outage probability, packet discarding probability and secrecy/delay constrained throughput (SDT). Finally, we provide extensive simulation and numerical results to validate our theoretical modelling, as well as to demonstrate that the proposed scheme is superior to the benchmarks in terms of SDT.
