Advances in optical security systems

Wen Chen, Bahram Javidi, Xudong Chen

Information security with optical means, such as double random phase encoding, has been investigated by various researchers. It has been demonstrated that optical technology possesses several unique characteristics for securing information compared with its electronic counterpart, such as many degrees of freedom. In this paper, we present a review of optical technologies for information security. Optical security systems are reviewed, and theoretical principles and implementation examples are presented to illustrate each optical security system. In addition, advantages and potential weaknesses of each optical security system are analyzed and discussed. It is expected that this review not only will provide a clear picture about current developments in optical security systems but also may shed some light on future developments.

Brief analysis on the development of physical security technology in optical network

Ying Du, Zhaoyun Li, Li Wang +2 more

Optical network has the characteristics of high speed, large capacity, long distance, and no electromagnetic interference. It is widely used in global information network. More than 90% of the world's information is transmitted through optical network, and has become an important strategic infrastructure of modern information society. Optical network physical layer security is one of the important indicators of optical network communication quality. It represents the ability of the optical network physical layer information to resist human interception and attacks. This paper summarizes the development of physical layer security technology of optical network, including physical layer security system of optical network, optical information protection and optical layer firewall, analyzes the development trend of the technology, and puts forward some suggestions on the development of physical layer security technology of optical network from the perspective of long-term development strategy and recent development focus.
