Chaotic RNA and DNA for security OFDM-WDM-PON and dynamic key agreement

Opt Express. 2021 Aug 2;29(16):25552-25569. doi: 10.1364/OE.434893.

Abstract

A chaotic ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encryption scheme is firstly proposed for security OFDM-WDM-PON in this paper. We adopt a dynamic key agreement based on the messenger RNA (mRNA) codebook to distribute the key, and the security and randomness of this key are enhanced by a pre-sharing key parameter set instead of transmission of a key directly. Also, the security key can be dynamically updated in real-time according to the needs of the users. The real (I) and imaginary (Q) parts of the QAM symbol matrix after modulation are encrypted by the correspondence between transfer RNA (tRNA) and amino acids and the selection mapping of DNA base complementary rules. Also, we add cubic permutation to ensure all data security encryption. The encrypted signals of 35.29 Gb/s on different wavelength channels are successfully demonstrated over a 25-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) and a back-to-back (BTB) system. It is proved that the proposed security OFDM-WDM-PON encryption scheme is compatible with the traditional WDM system, which can make full use of bandwidth resources and enhance the security with a large key space.
