Tolerance in high-powered crosstalk attack of DPSK and NRZ in transparent optical networks

Zeyu Sun

Transparent optical network is now becoming increasingly attractive,but transparency will induce security threats,such as intra-channel crosstalk attack in optical networks.Differential phase-shift-keying(DPSK) attracted more attention due to its high tolerance in intra-channel crosstalk.In this paper,DPSK is employed to mitigate high-powered intra-channel crosstalk attack.Via VPItransMakerTM,an optical communication system is simulated to detect the BER penalty of DPSK modulated signals.The results indicate that DPSK has about 9dB tolerance of intra-channel crosstalk attack than non-return-zero(NRZ),which makes DPSK have more advantages to affront potential high-powered crosstalk attack in TON.

Impact of high-power jamming attacks on SDM networks

Róża Goścień, Carlos Natalino, Lena Wosinska +1 more

Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) is a promising solution to provide ultra-high capacity optical network infrastructure for rapidly increasing traffic demands. Such network infrastructure can be a target of deliberate attacks that aim at disrupting a large number of vital services. This paper assesses the effects of high-power jamming attacks in SDM optical networks utilizing Multi-Core Fibers (MCFs), where the disruptive effect of the inserted jamming signals may spread among multiple cores due to increased Inter-Core CrossTalk (ICo-XT). We first assess the jamming-induced reduction of the signal reach for different bit rates and modulation formats. The obtained reach limitations are then used to derive the maximal traffic disruption at the network level. Results indicate that connections provisioned satisfying the normal operating conditions are highly vulnerable to these attacks, potentially leading to huge data losses at the network level.

Hacking Quantum Key Distribution over Space Division Multiplexing System

Chao Lei, Paolo Monti A, Rui Lin

On the one hand, Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers unparalleled security relying on the principles of quantum mechanics. On the other hand, space division multiplexing (SDM) is recognized as the route toward a capacity upgrade for current core optical communication networks and will progressively permeate into shorter-reach networks. Incorporating QKD into classical networks, with SDM being one of its components, will enhance data communication security. Understanding the security implications of implementing QKD over SDM is crucial for the practical deployment of quantum-secure communication technologies, especially in scenarios where high data capacity and multiplexing techniques are essential. In this paper, we study a QKD eavesdropping use case where connectivity is provided via SDM fibers. Specifically, we discuss the detector blinding attack (DBA) concerning inter-core crosstalk in an entanglement based QKD system. Additionally, we analyze the blinding power of DBA over quasi-homogeneous and heterogeneous seven-core fiber scenarios. Furthermore, the potential countermeasures to mitigate the impact of such attacks are discussed.
