Coexistence of High-Speed Physical-Layer Key Distribution and Secure Data Transmission in Fiber

Xinran Huang, Xinyong Peng, Liuming Zhang +4 more

Physical-layer secure key distribution (PLSKD) exploiting channel reciprocity and randomness is promising for data security enhancement in fiber, offering an endogenous high key generation rate (KGR) up to Gb/s. The PLSKD provides the integration possibility of key generation and data transmission within the same fiber channel. The coexistence schemes of PLSKD and secure data transmission in fibers are proposed using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), and full-duplex transmission at the same wavelength. The coexistence schemes are experimentally demonstrated with a 3.4 and 3.25 Gb/s PLSKD, where the encrypted data rate is 15.7 Gb/s, over a 20 km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) using WDM or full-duplex respectively. The effects of channel spacing using WDM and trade-offs between PLSKD and secure data transmission using full-duplex are fully analyzed. The proposed secure data transmission with PLSKD is classical and fully compatible with current fiber infrastructures.

Redundancy-Free Key Distribution Using Multiple Phase Offset for Secure Data Center

Yufeng Luo, Xinshuai Liang, Chongfu Zhang +2 more

This article proposes a redundancy-free multiple phase-offset based key distribution (MPO-KD) scheme for solving the physical-layer session key agreement in optical data center interconnections (DCIs). High-dimensional chaotic encryption is a promising technology expected to provide better security for massive-scale data transmission in DCIs. Considering the huge key space introduced by hyper-chaos, the proposed scheme converts digital keys into the phase of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols by actively introducing controllable offsets. The solution of offset factor space is modeled as a multi-objective optimization problem for improving the key distribution performance. The Pareto optimal set is obtained using the non-dominated sorting moth-flame optimization (NS-MFO) algorithm. The two-channel 140 Gb/s 16-QAM, 176 Gb/s 32-QAM and 210 Gb/s 64-QAM orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal transmissions are successfully demonstrated. The results indicate that this scheme achieves error-free key distribution without degrading system performance, which supports an expandable large key space and has good compatibility with various encryption algorithms.

Physical layer encryption by Y-00 protocol for secure optical interconnection between data centers

Fumio Futami, Osamu Hirota

Physical layer encryption by Y-00 protocol is proposed for secure interconnection of data centers. 25-Gb/s, 120-km Y-00 signal transmission is successfully demonstrated with wavelength division multiplexing (10 ch × 2.5 Gb/s, 50-GHz channel spacing).
