Experimental investigation of security issues in OCDMA: a code-switching scheme

Daniel E. Leaird, Z. Jiang, Andrew M. Weiner

Published Jul 7, 2005• 90 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Spectrally phase coded OCDMA with a modulation format based on switching between two codes is demonstrated. The code switching data modulation format enhances security compared to on-off keying by eliminating a vulnerability to eavesdropping based on a simple energy detector.

Experimental Investigation of Security Issues in O-CDMA

Zhi Jiang, Daniel E. Leaird, Andrew M. Weiner

In this paper, two vulnerabilities that allow an eavesdropper to extract data from an isolated user in a two-code-keying spectrally phase-coded optical-code-division-multiple-access (O-CDMA) system are experimentally demonstrated. One of these vulnerabilities stems from spectral dips that result from phase-to-amplitude conversion in the encoding process, which allows eavesdropping by using a narrowband tunable optical filter and a simple energy detector. A modified O-CDMA transmitter scheme that masks this vulnerability is demonstrated. A second, especially serious, vulnerability allows eavesdropping by using a differential-phase-shift-keying receiver. Both of these vulnerabilities arise from a structure in the coding and signaling schemes that allow an eavesdropper to recover data, with relatively simple hardware and without attempting to learn the codes

Experimental investigation on security of temporal phase coding OCDMA system with code-shift keying and differential phase-shift keying

Bo Dai, Zhensen Gao, Xu Wang +2 more

We experimentally demonstrate security vulnerability in the temporal phase coding single-user DPSK- and CSK-OCDMA systems with a DPSK demodulator. In the systems without proper decoding, error free BER performance and clear open eye diagrams indicate the eavesdropping possibility for both systems. We also discuss the principle of DPSK demodulation attack.

We experimentally investigate security issues in OCDMA using the multiple-user aggregation scheme and demonstrate vulnerabilities that may permit an eavesdropper to recover data masked by aggregation.
