We consider two-user MIMO broadcast and interference channels in which confidential messages intended for each receiver are kept secret from the other receiver. The confidential secrecy rates are nonconvex functions of transmit covariance matrices, which makes it intractable to find optimal transmit covariance matrices analytically. In the MIMO broadcast channels, we prove the weighted secrecy sum rate maximization has zero duality gap and KKT conditions are necessary conditions for the optimal solution. We apply the block successive lower-bound maximization technique to nonconvex weighted secrecy sum rate maximization problems. We also derive numerical algorithms for MIMO interference channels and Gaussian wiretap channels with a cooperative jammer. Every limit point achieved by the proposed algorithms is a local optimal solution that satisfies the KKT conditions. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms outperform existing suboptimal algorithms in terms of secrecy rates.
