Confidential Enhancement with Multi-Code Keying Reconfiguration over TS/WH OCDMA Networks

Abstract:

In order to overcome the vulnerability to eavesdropping on-off-keying based OCDMA scheme, a new multi-code keying reconfiguration is presented to enhance confidentiality over two dimensional time-spreading and wavelength-hopping (2D TS/WH) optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) schemes. The time-shifted carrier-hopping prime codes (CHPCs) are proposed and assigned as signature address code. This proposed scheme provides the integration of electronic and optical layer domain, which inherently comes from the data encryption and spectrum-spreading of the transmitted signals, and then achieves data-confidential enhancement in synchronous networks. Moreover, multi-code keying reconfiguration in a set of distinct codeword is assigned to individual user and random selection by using thin film filter, tunable delay line and optical switch. Here, the probability of interception performance in terms of various multi-code key numbers per user is analyzed. The result shows that the confidentiality is enhanced to combat against eavesdropping while signature address code number per user is increased in proposed multi-code key reconfiguration scheme.
