In this paper, we investigate physical layer security in a cooperative cognitive radio networks (CRN) with a relay selection in the presence of a primary user and an eavesdropper. To protect the CRN from wiretapping by the eavesdropper, we propose employing an opportunistic relay selection scheme and multiple antennas at the destination that work based on the availability of channel state information at the receivers. Under these configurations, we derive an exact closed-form expression for the
