Abstract

We propose a novel secure optical communication method using an anti-correlated noise. We demonstrate the secure communication with a secure data rate of 2.05 Gb/s against an eavesdropper on a single path.

A perfect secure optical-network with an anti-correlated noise

Il-Pyeong Hwang, Chang-Hee Lee

We propose a perfect secrecy optical communication with an anti-correlated noise between wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels. The anti-correlated noise carries confidential information. By sending the different WDM channels to different communication paths in optical communication networks (wired and/or wireless), the achievable signal-to-noise ratio for eavesdroppers can be restricted to much less than that of a target receiver. We demonstrate a perfect secrecy optical network with a three-channel anti-correlated noise generated by using a Fabry–Perot laser diode and a broadband light source. The secure data-rate of 3.95-Gb/s was achieved against an eavesdropper on a single path. We also investigate a secrecy capacity as a function of the number of eavesdropped paths. Finally, security enhancement methods for the proposed system are introduced.

Secure communication based on sensing of undetected photons

Jean Sternberg, Julien Voisin, Charline Roux +2 more

In this paper, we introduce a secure optical communication protocol that harnesses quantum correlation within entangled photon pairs. A message written by acting on one of the photons can be read by measuring exclusively the other photon of the pair. In this scheme, a bright, meaningless optical beam hides the message, rendering it inaccessible to potential eavesdroppers. Unlike traditional methods, our approach only affects unauthorized users, fundamentally limiting their access to the communication channel. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our protocol by achieving secure communication through both amplitude and phase modulation, relying on single-photon measurements, as opposed to most approaches which rely on coincidence measurements. We successfully demonstrate the resilience of the data transfer to noise up to 105 times greater than the signal, and we employ this technique for the secure transfer of an image.

Practical physical-layer encryption: The marriage of optical noise with traditional cryptography

Gregory S. Kanter, Daniel R. Reilly, N. Smith

We describe an emerging method of encryption suitable for high-speed optical communication networks. This encryption protocol combines traditional electronic cryptographic algorithms with the physical effect of optical noise of quantum origin to create a highly secure method of secret communications. The resulting optical signal is compatible with today's high speed fiber optic infrastructure including optical amplification and add/drop multiplexing. Systems implementing this protocol can be constructed with common commercially available components. We describe experimental results obtained with a 2.5 Gb/s system. The encrypted signal is shown to travel error-free through >500 km of optical fiber. Simulations show that reaches and data rates consistent with modern long haul optical networks are attainable.

Secure optical communications using antisqueezed light with enhanced fluctuations

Tatsuya Tomaru, Shinya Sasaki

Secure optical communications using antisqueezing are a realistic application of quantum information technologies. Antisqueezed light with enhanced fluctuations was transmitted over 100 km. Greater difficulty of eavesdropping than in a coherent-state case was shown.
