An important goal of PLE is to establish a mechanism that allows authorized users to understand cyphered messages. In this work, we show that this objective may be successfully accomplished by applying a double-lock strategy to the recently proposed optical spectral phase and delay encoding (SPDE) technique. The main feature of this strategy is that authorized users do not need to exchange a cryptographic key to achieve a safe communication. Computer simulation results suggest this double-lock approach may be effectively used by metropolitan area network end users deploying SPDE encrypted 100 Gb/s signals.1-5engOptical communicationsOptical networksOptical security and encryptionDouble-lock strategy applied to optical spectral phase and delay encodingTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/IMOC.2017.8121129Acesso aberto2-s2.0-8504345052411425882850729020000-0003-2823-4725
