[0049] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0051] Optical networks are the arteries and key infrastructure for transmitting information, carrying more than 98% of information in the network. With the rapid development of network size and business, and the significant enhancement of optical network openness, the importance of optical network security is increasingly prominent. Existing optical communication cannot resist line or node eavesdropping attacks, and faces the risk of information being hijacked by tapping and being hijacked by concatenation. If a 1% optical signal is stolen by an eavesdropper, the data information can be recovered at 100%, thus posing a serious threat to the security of high-speed interconnection of key information infrastructure. In the face of increasing attack threats, the security problem of optical networks has become a new challenge.

[0052] In the related art, encryption is mainly based on protocol layers or application layers above the physical layer, and encryption algorithms are used to improve data security. In the face of new risks such as eavesdropping and concatenation in fiber communication systems, the industry focus is on researching endogenous security optical transmission protection technology, including secure modulation and demodulation based on system inherent noise, new mechanisms and methods of secure signal processing, improving information interception resistance, solving physical layer network security blind spots of communication systems, providing physical protection for high-reliability transmission, and realizing endogenous security of optical communication networks based on physical layer secure signal processing. However, in this technical solution, information security depends on the difficulty of cracking the encryption algorithm by the eavesdropper, and no security measures are taken at the physical layer, so the eavesdropper will directly intercept the data for cracking, which is increasingly difficult to meet the high security requirements of specific industry users.

[0053] In another related art, endogenous security of optical communication networks is realized based on physical layer secure signal processing, including far noise zone, near noise zone, and immersion noise zone, as well as secure transmission path and secure negotiation path. In this technical solution, information is transmitted after being superimposed with noise, and the eavesdropper cannot judge or recover the effective information, which can realize endogenous security optical transmission compatible with existing communication systems. However, the introduction of noise in the immersion noise zone affects the quality of the information recovered at the receiving end from the immersion noise zone, and there is a certain degradation, which reduces the transmission performance and distance.

[0054] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a signal transmission method based on an optical network, applied to a modulation device, such asFigure 1 The method comprises:

[0055] Step 101: receiving first control information generated by a management device; the first control information at least carries chirp phase information for phase modulation of an optical signal.

[0056] Exemplarily, the modulation device can be a modulation apparatus of a sending end in an optical network intrinsic security system, configured to receive the first control information sent by the management device, and perform phase modulation on an initial optical signal based on the first control information to obtain an encrypted optical signal. The management device can be a management apparatus in the optical network intrinsic security system, configured to generate first control information of the initial optical signal based on a first rule, where the first rule can be determined according to actual conditions, which is not limited herein.

[0057] Exemplarily, the first control information can be control instruction information, which can instruct the modulation device to perform phase modulation on the initial optical signal according to chirp phase information in the first control information. In some embodiments, the chirp phase information can be loading phase information loaded to the initial optical signal, specifically a kind of phase modulation signal, and the chirp phase information at least includes first period information corresponding to the chirp phase information. The first period information can be the same as or different from period information of the initial optical signal, which is not limited herein.

[0058] Step 102: converting the chirp phase information to obtain first digital information corresponding to the chirp phase information.

[0059] It can be understood that the first digital information can be a digital signal representing the chirp phase information. The chirp phase information in the first control information is instruction information, which cannot directly act on the initial optical signal. After the modulation device receives the chirp phase information in the first control information, the chirp phase information needs to be converted into a digital signal to obtain first digital information corresponding to the chirp phase information, and then the initial optical signal is modulated based on the first digital information corresponding to the chirp phase information.

[0060] Exemplarily, the modulation device at least includes a digital signal generation unit, configured to receive the chirp phase information in the first control information sent by the management device; further configured to convert the chirp phase information based on a second rule to obtain first digital information corresponding to the chirp phase information; and further configured to send the first digital information. The second rule can be determined according to actual conditions, which is not limited herein.

[0061] Step 103: performing phase modulation on the initial optical signal to be sent based on the first digital information to obtain an encrypted optical signal.

[0062] Exemplarily, the first digital information can be converted into analog information, and the initial optical signal to be transmitted is phase-modulated based on the analog information, where the analog information can be analog information representing chirp phase information, and the analog information is a kind of electrical signal and can be loaded to the initial optical signal.

[0063] In an application example, the initial optical signal to be transmitted is phase-modulated based on the first digital information to obtain the encrypted optical signal, including:

[0064] The first digital information is converted into analog information corresponding to a driving signal of the initial optical signal.

[0065] The initial optical signal is phase-modulated based on the driving signal to obtain the encrypted optical signal.

[0066] Exemplarily, the first digital information can be converted into analog information, and the initial optical signal to be transmitted is phase-modulated based on the analog information, where the analog information can be analog information representing chirp phase information, and the analog information is a kind of electrical signal and can be loaded to the initial optical signal.

[0067] Exemplarily, the modulation device further includes a digital-to-analog conversion unit configured to receive the first digital information sent by the digital signal generation unit, and configured to convert the first digital information into analog information corresponding to a driving signal of the initial optical signal, and configured to send the driving signal.

[0068] Exemplarily, the modulation device further includes a phase modulation unit configured to receive the driving signal sent by the digital-to-analog conversion unit, and configured to phase-modulate the initial optical signal based on the driving signal to obtain the encrypted optical signal, and configured to send the encrypted optical signal.

[0069] In an application example, the first control information further carries modulation time information for phase-modulating the optical signal, and before the initial optical signal to be transmitted is phase-modulated based on the first digital information to obtain the encrypted optical signal, the method further includes:

[0070] The modulation time information is converted into second digital information corresponding to the modulation time information.

[0071] The starting time for phase-modulating the initial optical signal is determined based on the second digital information.

[0072] It can be understood that the modulation time information can be a modulation time for phase modulation of the optical signal; and the second digital information can be a digital signal representing the modulation time information. The modulation time information in the first control information is instruction information and cannot directly act on the initial optical signal. After the modulation device receives the modulation time information in the first control information, the modulation time information needs to be converted into the second digital information corresponding to the modulation time information, and then the initial optical signal is modulated based on the second digital information corresponding to the modulation time information.

[0073] Exemplarily, the digital signal generation unit is configured to receive the modulation time information in the first digital information sent by the management device; is further configured to convert the modulation time information to obtain the second digital information corresponding to the modulation time information; and is further configured to send the second digital information.

[0074] Exemplarily, the start time of phase modulation of the initial optical signal can be a start time of loading the phase modulation signal. The start time of phase modulation of the initial optical signal based on the second digital information can be that the second digital information is corresponded to a transmission position of the initial optical signal to obtain a start time of phase modulation of the initial optical signal at the transmission position of the initial optical signal. For example, the second digital information can represent that the phase modulation starts at a second cycle time of the optical signal transmission. According to the second digital information, a position of starting phase modulation on the initial optical signal is determined, and then a start time of phase modulation of the initial optical signal at the position is determined.

[0075] In an application example, the driving signal includes a chirp phase signal of the first cycle information, the chirp phase signal corresponds to the chirp phase information; and the initial optical signal is phase modulated based on the driving signal to obtain the encrypted optical signal, including:

[0076] The initial optical signal is phase modulated based on the chirp phase signal of the first cycle information to obtain the encrypted optical signal.

[0077] Exemplarily, the first cycle information can be a period of the chirp phase signal; and the initial optical signal is phase modulated based on the chirp phase signal of the first cycle information, which can be understood as that the chirp phase signal is loaded as an additional phase on the initial optical signal to introduce a phase chirp on the initial optical signal; and the chirp introduced by dispersion after fiber transmission and the phase chirp are compensated, so that the initial optical signal is distorted in the time domain to obtain the encrypted optical signal.

[0078] In some embodiments, the driving signal can include a chirp phase signal of first frequency information; and the phase modulation is performed on the initial optical signal based on the driving signal to obtain the encrypted optical signal, including: performing phase modulation on the initial optical signal based on the chirp phase signal of the first frequency information to obtain the encrypted optical signal. Wherein, the first frequency information can be the frequency of the chirp phase signal; the frequency period of the chirp phase signal and the frequency of the chirp phase signal are reciprocal.

[0079] It can be understood that the eavesdropper probes the encrypted optical signal on the link, and due to the change of the intensity of the encrypted optical signal, the actual intensity and period of the encrypted optical signal will be misjudged, and the encrypted optical signal will be demodulated incorrectly. As shown in Figure 3 For the four initial optical signals of "1111", the period of each optical signal is T / 4, and the frequency is 4f; the chirp phase with a period of T and a frequency of f is loaded, at this time, the four initial optical signals are loaded with different sizes of chirp phase information, and after transmission through an optical fiber, due to the compensation of the chirp introduced by dispersion and the chirp introduced by phase modulation, the time domain waveform of the initial optical signal is distorted, part of the initial optical signal is compressed and the intensity peak value is increased, part of the initial optical signal is widened and the intensity peak value is greatly reduced, and if the peak value of the widened signal is lower than the judgment threshold, even similar to the noise level, the encrypted optical signal is obtained. At this time, if the eavesdropper obtains the encrypted optical signal based on the threshold, only one "1" code can be judged, and the others are noise, and the eavesdropper will misjudge that there is only one initial optical signal in the period in the process of recovering the signal, so that the frequency is misjudged from 4f to f, and a large amount of data is lost.

[0080] It should be noted that the chirp phase is introduced at the sending end, and the modulation time, frequency / period of the chirp phase can be flexibly set through coding, so that the introduced phase modulation can be flexibly configured, and the distortion size, intensity, shape and period of the optical signal after transmission through the optical fiber are different, so that it is difficult to be cracked by the eavesdropper. As shown in Figure 4 Two chirp phases with different modulation times are shown.

[0081] Step 104: sending the encrypted optical signal.

[0082] Exemplarily, the modulation device sends the encrypted optical signal to an optical network, which can be an optical transport network (OTN), a network architecture based on optical fiber communication technology, used to realize the transmission and exchange of optical signals. The encrypted optical signal can be transmitted to the demodulation device through the optical network.

[0083] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a signal transmission method based on an optical network, applied to a demodulation device, as shown in Figure 2 The method includes:

[0084] Step 201: receiving second control information generated by a management device and an encrypted optical signal sent by a modulation device; the second control information at least carries chirp phase information used for phase compensation of the encrypted optical signal.

[0085] Exemplarily, the demodulation device can be a demodulation apparatus of a receiving end in an optical network intrinsic security system, configured to receive second control information sent by a management device and an encrypted optical signal sent by a modulation device; and demodulate the encrypted optical signal based on the second control information to obtain an initial optical signal. The management device can be a management apparatus in the optical network intrinsic security system, configured to generate first control information of the initial optical signal based on a third rule, where the third rule can be determined according to actual conditions, which is not limited herein. It can be understood that the third rule can be the same as the first rule, and correspondingly, the second control information can be the same as the first control information. In some embodiments, the second control information can not include modulation time information used for phase modulation of the optical signal.

[0086] Exemplarily, the second control information can be control instruction information, which can instruct the demodulation device to demodulate the encrypted optical signal according to the chirp phase information in the second control information. In some embodiments, the chirp phase information at least includes first period information corresponding to the chirp phase information.

[0087] Step 202: performing phase compensation on the encrypted optical signal based on the chirp phase information to obtain the initial optical signal.

[0088] In an application example, performing phase compensation on the encrypted optical signal based on the chirp phase information to obtain the initial optical signal includes:

[0089] determining first period information of the chirp phase information;

[0090] performing phase shift on the encrypted optical signal based on the chirp phase information until second period information of the encrypted optical signal after phase shift is consistent with the first period information, to determine a demodulation time of the encrypted optical signal;

[0091] performing phase compensation on the encrypted optical signal based on the demodulation time and the chirp phase information to obtain the initial optical signal.

[0092] It can be understood that the waveform of the encrypted optical signal is different from the waveform of the initial optical signal. In the embodiments of the present application, the chirp phase information based on the first period information is used to perform phase shift on the encrypted optical signal, so that the waveform of the encrypted optical signal after phase shift is the same as the waveform of the initial optical signal, and further, the second period information of the encrypted optical signal after phase shift is consistent with the first period information.

[0093] Exemplarily, the demodulation device at least comprises a clock extraction unit, configured to receive the encrypted optical signal sent by the modulation device, and receive the chirp phase information in the second control information sent by the management device; and further configured to determine first period information of the chirp phase information; and further configured to send the first period information and the chirp phase information.

[0094] Exemplarily, the demodulation device at least further comprises a phase shift unit, configured to receive the first period information and the chirp phase information sent by the clock extraction unit; and further configured to perform phase shift on the encrypted optical signal based on the chirp phase information until second period information of the encrypted optical signal after phase shift is consistent with the first period information, to determine a demodulation time of the encrypted optical signal; and further configured to send the demodulation time and the chirp phase information.

[0095] Exemplarily, the demodulation device at least further comprises a phase compensation unit, configured to receive the demodulation time and the chirp phase information sent by the phase shift unit; and further configured to perform phase compensation on the encrypted optical signal based on the demodulation time and the chirp phase information, to obtain the initial optical signal.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, the modulation device at the sending end introduces the chirp phase, and loads the phase on the initial optical signal to obtain the encrypted optical signal; the demodulation device at the receiving end compensates the phase according to the same design rule to obtain the initial optical signal from the encrypted optical signal, and the process of loading the phase and compensating the phase does not introduce additional noise influence, thereby improving the transmission performance.

[0123] Exemplarily, the signal transmission system can be an optical network intrinsic security system; the modulation device can be a modulation apparatus of a sending end in the optical network intrinsic security system; the demodulation device can be a demodulation apparatus of a receiving end in the optical network intrinsic security system; and the management device can be a management apparatus in the optical network intrinsic security system.

[0124] The modulation apparatus of the sending end mainly comprises a phase modulation unit, a digital-to-analog conversion unit and a digital signal generation unit; and the demodulation apparatus of the receiving end mainly comprises a phase compensation unit, a clock extraction unit and a phase shift unit. The specific functions are as follows:

[0125] The management apparatus: at the sending end, generates first control information according to a set first rule, and sends the first control information to the modulation apparatus of the sending end, so as to control the digital signal generation unit to generate digital information corresponding to the control information based on a second rule. At the receiving end, generates second control information according to a third rule corresponding to the set first rule, and sends the second control information to the demodulation apparatus of the receiving end, so as to control the clock extraction unit to determine a correct signal period.

[0126] The first control information and the second control information can be consistent, for example, the first control information informs the sending end that the frequency of the loaded phase modulation signal is f, and the second control information also informs the receiving end that the phase modulation frequency of the phase modulation signal is f, otherwise the original optical signal cannot be correctly recovered.

[0127] The digital signal generation unit: generates digital information capable of being loaded to the optical signal according to the received first control information and according to the second rule.

[0128] The digital-to-analog conversion unit: converts the received digital information into analog information, and sends the analog information to the phase modulation unit as a driving signal.

[0129] The phase modulation unit: performs phase modulation on the unencrypted optical signal generated by the signal light source according to the loaded driving signal.

[0130] The clock extraction unit: confirms the correct period of the signal distorted after transmission of the phase information loaded in the received second control information according to the received second control information.

[0131] The phase shift unit: adjusts the time window of the optical signal to realize alignment of the signal period and a judgment window. The judgment window is the starting position of the phase modulation of the optical signal.

[0132] The phase compensation unit compensates the phase to recover the original unencrypted optical signal. The phase compensation unit can be a grating, a phase modulator or the like, and determines the phase modulation period / frequency of the signal modulation signal according to the second control information, so that the grating or the like determines the introduced phase compensation period / frequency, and performs phase compensation by adjusting the phase modulation signal, and observes the waveform change of the optical signal. If the waveform of the optical signal is restored to be consistent with the waveform corresponding to the period before phase modulation, the subsequent optical-electric conversion and demodulation process is performed, and whether the demodulated optical signal has an error code is determined. If there is no error code, it is determined that the compensation period and size are appropriate.
