This network is susceptible to various security threats, such as eavesdropping, masquerading, denial of service, and so on. We propose a security model and a security protocol to support authentication in an EPON based optical access network. We analyze security threats and security models in the EPON reference model. After considering these models, we propose that an encryption layer is placed at the RS layer. The paper proposes an authentication protocol based on public key exchange and a key establishment protocol. User authentication and ONU authentication are performed separately to give efficient key management and a strong authentication service.","PeriodicalId":272700,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2003 5th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2003.","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127691516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Work towards the combination of a number of elements into a single photonic IC will be highlighted, as will structures which combine photonic crystal and photonic wire features. Planar microcavities for frequency selection will be featured, in particular. We shall also resurvey briefly the technology aspects of fabrication, including electron-beam lithography (EBL), reactive ion etching (RIE), focused ion-beam etching (FIBS) and excimer laser lithography.

In opaque optical networks, fault management deals with detection and isolation of faults based on the alarms received from the network components. In WDM networks, faults are difficult to identify due to the huge quantity of alarms generated because of the high number of channels involved in a single fault. In transparent optical networks, where no O/E/O conversion takes place, detecting and isolating faults becomes even more complex, since the optical signal is not regenerated and, therefore, the information reaching the manager is more limited. We define failure management as the prevention of, detection of, and reaction against failures (faults and attacks). Besides faults (accidental interruptions), optical networks can also be subject to attacks (intentional interruptions which can be performed by service disruption or eavesdropping). The paper presents in detail the techniques and methods of fault management. In addition, it covers the challenges associated with failure management in transparent optical networks.","PeriodicalId":272700,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2003 5th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2003.","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127840358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flow of photons is controlled in a manner analogous to how electrons propagate through semiconductor crystals, i.e., by Bragg diffraction and the formation of band structures. If the interaction between light and matter is made strong, multiple diffraction and multiple scattering effects dominate. A main research goal is the realization of a \"photonic band gap\", that is, a frequency range for which no light can propagate in a crystal in any direction, which causes radical modifications of the density of radiative states. Important consequences of photonic band gaps are the complete control over spontaneous and stimulated emission of light, as well as over the propagation of light, in particular photon localization. This opens up the possibility to achieve a \"cage for light\": trap photons and do with them whatever one chooses. In this talk we will also review means for making such structures, and recent experimental advances in optical experiments.","PeriodicalId":272700,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2003 5th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2003.","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114437412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In wavelength routed networks switching is performed through optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) and optical cross-connect (OXC) nodes. These nodes provide provisioning capabilities as well as protection and restoration at the optical layer. Routing and management of the traffic demands are applied through the generalised multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) a control plane offering intelligence at the optical layer. A central subject of debate has been the comparison of optical and electrical switching technologies, however transparent solutions offer attractive features associated with reduced unnecessary optoelectronic conversions supporting transparent networks with reduced capital and operational cost. A number of different OADM and OXC architectures based on various technologies have been proposed to date. A detailed discussion on the different architecture and technology choices supporting a variety of features are given and specific design and implementation examples are analysed. The impact of impairments introduced by transparent elements present in the network, such as OADM and/or optical switches, is discussed and optimised solutions introducing low penalties proposed. In addition, the use of novel modulation formats improving the concatenation performance of such elements is covered.","PeriodicalId":272700,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2003 5th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2003.","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128475158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
