Abstract

The deployment of optical networks grows due to the demand of high-speed communication in our daily life. Virtually all modern security solutions on optical networks are based on cryptographic technology. Various security solutions using cryptographic techniques have been adapted in current optical networks. In this paper, we investigate advanced cryptographic techniques to ensure the long-term security of optical networks.
