Intelligent dynamic data perturbation OCDM encryption scheme based on cellular neural network and biological genetic encoding.

Abstract

In this paper, an intelligent dynamic perturbation orthogonal chirp division multiplexing (OCDM) encryption scheme based on cellular neural network and biological genetic encoding for seven-core optical fiber is proposed for the first time to our knowledge. In this scheme, chaotic sequences generated by cellular neural network are employed to construct six masking vectors to achieve six dimensions of ultra-high security encryption. The transmitted bit data is interleaved according to the DNA operation rules. The subcarrier frequency, symbol matrix, and time are scrambled. Because the selected encoding rule, decoding rule, key base sequence, subcarrier frequency, symbol matrix, and scrambling position of time all change dynamically, the robustness against malicious attack is enhanced. Simultaneously, OCDM technology is employed to optimize the system, which effectively improves the anti-interference ability and bit error performance of the system. A 70 Gb /s (7×10 Gb /s) encrypted OCDM signal transmission experiment is carried out on a 2 km 7-core fiber, and an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal is transmitted under the same conditions for comparison and verification. The results show that the key space of the newly proposed encryption scheme can reach 101170, and the receiver sensitivity of OCDM is 1.2 dB greater than that of OFDM when the bit error rate is 10-3. The scheme can improve the security of encrypted information and the performance of the system, which is very promising in the optical access network of the future.
