TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of chaotic laser signal and optical fiber communication technology, and relates to a physical layer encryption system based on optical carrier driven chaotic laser synchronization and a method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, computer and communication technology has developed at an unprecedentedly fast pace. Optical fiber communication has outstanding advantages such as high speed, low loss and large capacity, and has become the main carrier and infrastructure of modern network information, and is the most important long-distance communication method today, which undertakes more than 90% of global communication services and involves various fields. However, the information security risk increases rapidly, and the events of eavesdropping on optical fibers are reported continuously, which has attracted people's high attention. On the one hand, the digital encryption system based on deterministic algorithm, such as the classic advanced encryption standard (AES), can still provide a certain security guarantee at present. However, due to the repeatability of the algorithm, with the emergence of super-high-speed computers such as quantum computers and the rise of artificial intelligence machine learning, the breaking risk is becoming more and more serious. Therefore, it is necessary to explore advanced physical encryption technology with non-deterministic characteristics to further improve the security of the communication system.
[0003] With the further development of technology, the hardware optical encryption based on the photon layer security has become a research hotspot for realizing high-speed secure optical communication. N. Jiang et al. of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China studied a phase encryption technology based on third-party synchronous driving chaotic synchronization, which is inherently transparent to the modulation format and can be flexibly compatible with existing optical communication systems (A. Zhao, C. Xue, J. Tang and K. Qiu, Optics Letters 44(7), 1536-1539 (2019).). Z. Gao et al. of Guangdong University of Technology developed related technology, which encrypts the injected signal by dispersion and improves the privacy of the chaotic laser signal (see the literature: Z. Gao, Q. Wu, L. Liao, B. Su, X. Gao, S. Fu, Z. Li, Y. Wang and Y. Qin, Optics Express 30(17), 31209-31219 (2022)). However, in the above communication schemes, the transmission of the third-party driving signal is needed, and the driving signal is obvious and easy to be identified, which makes the information have the risk of being stolen and leaked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The physical layer encryption system and method based on optical carrier driven chaotic laser synchronization of the present application is based on the same optical carrier driving, generates local synchronous chaotic laser at both sides of communication, and uses the local synchronous chaotic laser for phase encryption, and combines the information distortion / hiding effect of the dispersion module to realize physical layer encryption.

The present application does not need a third party driving signal source, and does not occupy an extra optical channel for transmission of the driving signal, has the advantages of low cost and high channel utilization rate; the driving signal in the present application is the optical carrier itself, and combined with the WDM system, the security of the driving signal can be realized to a certain extent; the private synchronous chaotic laser is used for phase encryption to ensure the security of the system; the present application is compatible with various optical modulation formats, and is compatible with commercial communication networks.
[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1 Fig. 1 is a structure schematic diagram of the physical layer encryption system based on optical carrier driven chaotic laser synchronization of the present application, which comprises a sending end 100 and a receiving end 300 connected by a fiber link 200.
[0039] The transmitting end 100 includes a signal generating module and an encryption module that are communicatively connected to each other; the signal generating module includes: a first semiconductor laser 101, a polarization controller 102, data to be encrypted 103, and an intensity modulator 104 that are optically or electrically connected in sequence; the encryption module includes: a first dispersion unit 105, a first phase modulator 106, a first fiber coupler 107, a second dispersion unit 108, a first optical circulator 109, a second semiconductor laser 110, a first photodetector 111, a first radio frequency amplifier 112, and a first fiber amplifier 113 that are optically or electrically connected in sequence.
[0040] The receiving end 300 includes a decryption module and a signal demodulation module that are communicatively connected to each other. The decryption module includes: a second fiber coupler 301, a third dispersion unit 302, a second optical circulator 303, a third semiconductor laser 304, a reverse photodetector 305, a second radio frequency amplifier 306, a second phase modulator 307, and a fourth dispersion unit 308, which are optically or electrically connected in sequence. The signal demodulation module includes: a second fiber amplifier 309, a second photodetector 310, and recovered information 311, which are optically or electrically connected in sequence.
[0041] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that in the signal generating module of the transmitting end 100, the first semiconductor laser 101 emits an optical carrier for carrying the data to be encrypted. The polarization direction of the optical carrier is adjusted by the polarization controller 102, and then input into the intensity modulator 104. The intensity modulator 104 modulates the data to be encrypted 103 onto the optical carrier, thereby emitting an optical signal carrying the data to be encrypted. The optical signal enters the encryption module for encryption.
[0042] In the encryption module, the first dispersion unit 105 is connected with the output end of the intensity modulator 104, under the action of strong dispersion, the optical signal is seriously distorted to form a noise-like signal, and the information cannot be directly read through the signal; the input end of the first phase modulator 106 is connected with the first dispersion unit 105, and the phase of the noise-like optical signal is disturbed to realize phase encryption, that is, through the signal distortion caused by strong dispersion and the phase encryption of the phase modulator, the information is completely hidden. Since the phase modulator is a polarization-sensitive device, it only acts on the polarized light in a specific direction, so a polarization controller 102 is arranged in front of the first phase modulator 106, and the polarization state of the optical signal is adjusted through the polarization controller 102 to make the polarization direction of the optical signal meet the requirements of the first phase modulator 106. The first fiber coupler 107 is a Y-type directional coupler, the input end of which is connected with the output end of the first phase modulator 106, one output end of which is connected with the input end of the second dispersion unit 108, and the other output end is connected with the input end of the first fiber amplifier 113, which is used to divide the phase-encrypted optical signal into two parts. One port of the first optical circulator 109 is connected with the output end of the second dispersion unit 108, and the other port is connected with the second semiconductor laser 110. A part of the phase-encrypted optical signal is injected into the second semiconductor laser 110 through the above optical path to make it output chaotic laser signal. The second dispersion unit 108 performs optical scrambling on the injected optical signal, which prevents the eavesdropper from generating a synchronous chaotic laser signal by using the same injection system to decrypt the phase encryption and improves the privacy of the injected optical signal. The chaotic laser signal generated by the second semiconductor laser 110 is input from the two ports of the first optical circulator 109 and output from the three ports to the first photodetector 111 for photoelectric conversion. The input end of the first radio frequency amplifier 112 is connected with the output end of the first photodetector 111 to amplify the driving signal in radio frequency; the output end of the first radio frequency amplifier 112 is used as the driving end of the first phase modulator 106 to drive the first phase modulator 106 to perform phase encryption; the other part of the phase-encrypted optical signal is transmitted to the receiving end 300 through the first fiber amplifier 113 and the optical fiber link 200.
[0043] The encrypted signal is transmitted in the transmission link 200 composed of a single-mode optical fiber and a dispersion compensation optical fiber matched with the dispersion value of the single-mode optical fiber.
[0044] At the receiving end 300, the encrypted signal enters the decryption module for decryption: the second optical fiber coupler 301 is a Y-shaped directional coupler, the encrypted optical signal is divided into two through the second optical fiber coupler 301, one output end is connected with the input end of the third dispersion unit 302, and the other output end is connected with the input end of the second phase modulator 307. One port of the second optical circulator 303 is connected with the output end of the third dispersion unit 302, and the other port is connected with the third semiconductor laser 304. Part of the received optical signal is injected into the third semiconductor laser 304 through the above optical path, the third dispersion unit 302 performs optical scrambling on the injected optical signal, which prevents the eavesdropper from generating a synchronous chaotic laser signal for phase decryption by using the same injection system, and improves the privacy of the injected optical signal. The chaotic laser signal generated by the third semiconductor laser 304 is input from the two ports of the second optical circulator 303 and output from the three ports to the reverse photoelectric detector 305 for photoelectric conversion. The input end of the second radio frequency amplifier 306 is connected with the output end of the reverse photoelectric detector 305, and the radio frequency of the driving signal is amplified; the output end of the second radio frequency amplifier 306 is used as the driving end of the second phase modulator 307, and the second phase modulator 307 is driven to perform phase decryption; the phase-decrypted optical signal is sent to the fourth dispersion unit 308 for dispersion compensation, and after the signal distortion caused by the first dispersion unit 105 is eliminated, the signal is sent to the signal demodulation module.
[0045] In the signal demodulation module, the optical signal with successful decryption is converted into an electrical signal by the second optical fiber amplifier 309 and the second photoelectric detector 310, and the transmitted information is recovered.
[0046] In the embodiment system of the application, the first optical amplifier 113 and the second optical amplifier 309 are both erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, which are used to compensate the power loss of the optical signal. The phase amplitudes applied by the first phase modulator 106 and the second phase modulator 307 are the same, but the signs are opposite. The dispersion values of the first dispersion unit 105 and the fourth dispersion unit 308 are equal, but the signs are opposite. The dispersion values of the second dispersion unit 108 and the third dispersion unit 302 are dynamically adjustable, which improves the privacy. The dispersion units can be constructed by using dispersion compensation fiber or chirped fiber grating.
[0047] The application is simulated on the professional software Matlab, and the encrypted data is NRZ code with a bit rate of 40 Gb / s. Table 1 is the parameters set in the system simulation.

[0051] Figure 2(a) shows the time domain waveform of the driving signal, Figure 2(b) shows the time domain waveform of the chaotic signal from the transmitter, and Figure 2(c) shows the time domain waveform of the chaotic signal from the receiver. Figure 3(a) shows the correlation diagram of the second semiconductor laser 110 and the third semiconductor laser 304, and Figure 3(b) shows the correlation diagram of the third semiconductor laser 304 and the injected signal. As can be seen from Figures 2(b), 2(c), and 3(a), the time domain waveforms of the chaotic signals output by the second semiconductor laser 110 and the third semiconductor laser 304 are very similar, and the distribution of the points in the correlation diagram approximates a straight line, with a corresponding cross-correlation coefficient of 0.99. This indicates that the driving signals of the first phase modulator 106 and the second phase modulator 307 are almost completely synchronized, and high-quality chaotic synchronization ensures successful decryption of the information. Figure 3(b) shows that the distribution of the points in the correlation diagram of the chaotic signal output by the third semiconductor laser 304 and its injected signal is chaotic, with a corresponding cross-correlation coefficient of only 0.18, so it can be considered that the two signals are uncorrelated. For the eavesdropper, the low correlation between them makes it impossible to recover the driving signal of the phase modulator, ensuring the security of encryption and decryption. The formula for calculating the mutual correlation coefficient is:
[0052]
[0053] Here, I1 and I2 represent two discrete time series, the operator <·> represents the average of the discrete time series, and Δt is the signal delay. To quantify synchronization quality, the maximum absolute value of the CCF, or the cross-correlation coefficient, is typically used to represent the degree of cross-correlation between chaotic signals. The time corresponding to this value is the synchronization delay between the signals. A larger cross-correlation coefficient indicates a higher correlation between the two time series. Specifically, the closer the cross-correlation coefficient is to 1, the better the synchronization quality; the closer it is to 0, the worse the synchronization quality. In summary, the present invention improves the confidentiality of physical encryption and decryption, thereby further enhancing system security.
[0054] Figure 4(a) and Figure 4(b) are the waveform and eye diagram of the original signal respectively. Figure 5(a) and Figure 5(b) are the waveform and eye diagram of the encrypted original signal respectively. Figure 6(a) and Figure 6(b) are the waveform and eye diagram of the decrypted signal respectively. Figure 4(a) 、 4(b) As can be seen in Figures 5(a), 5(b), 6(a), and 6(b), the amplitude of the optical signal encrypted by transmitter 100 is distorted, and both the amplitude and phase of the information are encrypted. The eye diagram in Figure 5(b) is completely closed, completely hiding the information. Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show that after the signal is correctly decrypted, the waveforms are very similar to the original signal and have a clear eye opening.
[0055] Figure 7Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the influence of the modulation depth of the phase modulator on the Q value of the system. The Q value is calculated according to the formula:
[0056] Q = ( <P1> - <P2> ) / ( σ1 - σ0 ) (2)
[0057] where <P1> and <P2> are the average power of the received bit "1" and the average power of the received bit "0", respectively, and σ1 and σ0 are the corresponding standard deviations. The corresponding bit error rate can be calculated by the Q factor. The greater the Q value, the lower the corresponding bit error rate, and the better the performance of the system. For example, when Q = 6, the bit error rate of the system is about 10 -9 -6, and when Q = 7, the bit error rate of the system is about 10 -12 . Figure 7 The dotted line connected by squares represents the change of the Q value in the case of legal decryption, and the dotted line connected by circles represents the change of the Q value in the case of dispersion compensation only (illegal decryption). It can be seen from Figure 7 that, as the modulation depth increases, the Q value gradually decreases, but the Q value in the case of legal decryption is always much greater than the Q value in the case of illegal decryption.
[0058] Fig. 8(a) and Fig. 8(b) are eye diagrams of the decrypted signals obtained in the cases of legal decryption and illegal decryption, respectively, when the modulation depth is 0.5. Fig. 9(a) and Fig. 9(b) are eye diagrams of the decrypted signals obtained in the cases of legal decryption and illegal decryption, respectively, when the modulation depth is 0.8. The decrypted signal obtained in the case of legal decryption has a clear eye opening, and the eye diagram of the decrypted signal obtained in the case of illegal decryption is completely closed; that is, the legal decryption can successfully obtain the transmitted information, while the illegal decryption cannot obtain the transmitted information.
[0059] From Figure 7 , 8(a) , 8(b), 9(a), 9(b), it can be seen that, by selecting a suitable modulation depth, even if the eavesdropper knows the dispersion values of the first dispersion unit 105 and the fourth dispersion unit 308 to perform dispersion compensation, the eavesdropper cannot successfully decrypt the signal to recover the original information, thus ensuring the security of encryption and decryption. Even if the eavesdropper knows the structure of the present application, the decryption process of the eavesdropper cannot be synchronized with the encryption signal, and the eavesdropper cannot correctly decrypt, thus improving the security of signal transmission.
[0060] Figure 10The influence of dispersion mismatch on the system Q value and the correlation coefficient between the transmitter and receiver chaotic signals for the second dispersion unit 108 and the third dispersion unit 302 is shown in the graph. The graph shows the variation trend of the legal decryption Q value and the correlation coefficient. The results show that as the dispersion mismatch increases, the Q value and the correlation coefficient gradually decrease, which makes the decryption performance worse, thus leading to the gradual increase of the system bit error rate. However, the receiver can realize signal decryption within a certain range of dispersion mismatch, i.e., the system has a certain robustness.
