Abstract

We propose a novel optical encoding scheme based on spectral phase encoding, in which optical codes are randomly selected from a code set for code hopping. The security performance is analysed. It can achieve the identical security level with short hopping pattern, efficiently improving the system resources.

±π/2-Phase-shift spectral phase encoding for security improvement in the optical code based system

Ali Zahid, Bo Dai, Yao Chen +4 more

A novel spectral phase encoding scheme by using ±π/2 phase shift in the en/decoding is proposed. The scheme can submerge the code information in the encoded signals well, improving the security against code extraction from the encoded signals. Furthermore, based on the theoretical analysis, the coding performance of the proposed scheme is guaranteed.

Security and coding performance of spectral phase coding

Ali Zahid, Bo Dai, Xu Wang +1 more

Spectral phase coding by using 0/π-phase-shift and ±π/2-phase-shift are thoroughly studied. The security vulnerability and improvement are analysed by evaluating the encoded signal. ίπ/2-phase-shift spectral phase coding can guarantee the security by hiding the optical code in the encoded signal. In addition, coding performance of both spectral phase coding techniques is investigated by measuring auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties when using a set of 7-chip and 31-chip optical codes. ±π/2-phase-shift spectral phase coding presents better coding performance. It is for the first time revealed that the coding performance of spectral phase coding is irrelevant to the properties of the optical codes.

Bit-by-bit optical code scrambling technique for secure optical communication

Xu Wang, Zhensen Gao, Xuhua Wang +2 more

We propose and demonstrate a novel bit-by-bit code scrambling technique based on time domain spectral phase encoding/decoding (SPE/SPD) scheme using only a single phase modulator to simultaneously generate and decode the code hopping sequence and DPSK data for secure optical communication application. In the experiment, 2.5-Gb/s DPSK data has been generated, decoded and securely transmitted over 34 km by scrambling five 8-chip, 20-Gchip/s Gold codes with prime-hop patterns. The proposed scheme can rapidly reconfigure the optical code hopping sequence bit-by-bit with the DPSK data, and thus it is very robust to conventional data rate energy detection and DPSK demodulation attack, exhibiting the potential to provide unconditional transmission security and realize even one-time pad.

Novel Synchronous Time-domain Spectral Phase Encoding/Decoding Scheme for Secured Optical Communication

Xu Wang, Naoya Wada

In this paper, we propose a novel synchronous time-domain spectral phase encoding/decoding (SPED) scheme for secured optical communication. The pulse generator generates short optical pulses at data-rate, the SPE consists of a pair of dispersive components with opposite dispersion values (+D and -D) to stretch/compress the optical pulse and a phase modulator (PM) or a hybrid intensity/phase modulator (IM/PM) for data and OC modulation. The spectral phase decoding (SPD) is similar to the SPE with a PM synchronously driven by OC (the complementary pattern of OC) at a repetition rate equal to the data-rate. The OCs thus can be rapidly reconfigured even bit-by-bit to enhance the system confidentiality.

Confidentiality analysis of optical code-based secure optical communication system

Bo Dai, Yu Chieh Huang, Ziao Jiao +3 more

A theoretical model is proposed to analyze the time-domain spectral phase en/decoding and evaluate the unconditional security of the optical code-based secure optical communication systems with DPSK modulation. The confidentiality of the systems with and without bit-by-bit code scrambling technique is investigated. It mathematically proves that the system without code scrambling lacks confidentiality and the system employing code scrambling can realize unconditionally secure transmission. Furthermore, encoding only within the central band of the spectrum is sufficient for perfect secrecy, and the secrecy rate can be potentially improved. It allows the system to operate in the burst mode for code generation and encoding and thus have an idle time for rearm.
