An analytical framework for physical layer security in simultaneous transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmissions is proposed, where legitimate users and eavesdroppers are randomly deployed. To characterize system performance, the channel statistics are first provided, and the Gamma approximation is adopted for general cascaded κ-μ fading. Afterwards, the energy splitting (ES) protocol is considered and closed-form expressions of average secrecy capacity are derived. To obtain further insights, the asymptotic secrecy slope is deduced. The theoretical results show that the secrecy slope of the ES protocol is one. The numerical results demonstrate that: 1) there is an optimal resource allocation ratio of STAR-RIS to maximize the system performance; 2) the STAR-RIS-aided NOMA significantly outperforms the STAR-RIS-aided orthogonal multiple access.
