Editor's Notes
- - PLONS, Physical Layer Optical Network Security is what I've found to be an Under Researched Area of Information Security... and as we know, we “ Must ” Better Understand security at every level of the OSI reference Model if we are to Ensure Trusted Path. - So Lets stop for a second and define exactly what we mean by “Trusted Path”... We're talking about the tenets that make up Assured Communications; these are of course Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. - For those of you who are unfamiliar with the CIA Triad: As it applies to networking, Confidentiality is the assurance that only the intended recipient can view a communication. Integrity is the concept that the received information has not been tampered with, and finally Availability is the notion that the information will be there when you need/want it without interruption. - So lets define what we're talking about when we say the physical layer as it applies to optical networks... “load pictures” Communications on a typical long haul optical network takes place between larger OEO Nodes as shown here, but what really happens between those nodes... it's not just fiber connecting them, it's in fact a number of components including the fiber. These are needed to counteract the effects of Dispersion and power loss.
