This paper investigates a physical layer key generation (PLKG) scheme for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) systems. Unlike traditional PLKG which relies on channel state information (CSI), we exploit the virtual angles of departure (AoDs). To accurately estimate these angles, we propose a redundant transforming matrix-based compressive sampling matching pursuit (RTMCoSa) method. We then derive the secret key rate (SKR) of the RIS-aided mmWave system. Simulation results demonstrate that the RTMCoSa method outperforms existing orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) methods in channel probing for angle information. What is more, the proposed key generation scheme surpasses traditional CSI-based methods in SKR when the SNR is low. And the SKR of our method maintains robust when the SNR decreases.
