We have successfully implemented a multilevel programmable network resilience and security for Time-Shared Optical Networks (TSON). A SDN controller enables flexible control of FPGA-based network coding and encryption/decryption cores for secured and resilient TSON.
We have successfully demonstrated an on-demand programmable hardware encryptor for optical networks enabled by the software-defined network (SDN) and tested its application in a quantum key distribution (QKD) use case. We believe our proposed encryptor is unique in the way that it combines on-demand programmable encryption algorithms with a 100G Ethernet network interface to provide a high-transmission capacity with flexible security. We have successfully formed an on-demand encryption library consisting of AES-256, AES-192, AES-128, Camellia-256, XOR, and no-encryption configurations. Our system has shown a network throughput of 91.3 Gb/s for AES variations and 90.2 Gb/s for Camellia-256, while theoretical encryption throughputs were 160 Gb/s. In addition, the goodputs of all the encryption schemes were measured as at least 90.4 Gb/s. For a faster reconfiguration of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA), partial reconfiguration technology has been used, and reconfiguration times of 2.6 s for encryption and 2 s for decryption have been achieved. The FPGA configuration rate was 3.35 MB/s. When our proposed design was tested in a QKD use case with 256-bit keys, the highest achieved key consumption rate was 27 keys/s, which corresponded to the minimum granularity of 474 MB per key. Thus, with a 256-bit key, up to a 6912 b/s key consumption rate was achieved. In addition, the encryptor’s end-to-end network latency has been tested using 300k standard Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) pings. For all encryption schemes, the latency was measured as

on average, but the encryption/decryption processes did not have a meaningful latency impact with microsecond precision.
À minha mãe. Pelos sonhos que renunciou em favor dos meus. Agradecimentos A Deus, em primeiro lugar, pelas oportunidades que me permitiu encontrar. Aos meus pais, irmãos e sobrinhos, por incondicionalmente terem apoiado cada passo da minha vida sem duvidar da minha realização. Aos colegas de laboratório que, além de verdadeiros amigos, são companheiros de batalha. A eles, pela incessante ajuda e por todos os momentos de cooperação, um tanto exaustivas, que não nos deixaram desistir. Em especial ao Diego, ao Marcelo, ao Alex, ao Acrísio, ao Giovanni, ao Damaso, ao Natal e ao Caio. À CAPES pelo apoio financeiro. Ao Prof. Rui Aguiar, do Instituto de Telecomunicações da Universidade de Aveiro, pela ajuda efetiva na pesquisa e pela constante solicitude em orientar-me. Ao Prof. Daniel Gomes Mesquita, por todas as exigências que me prepararam para seguir meu caminho acadêmico. De forma especial, por acreditar em mim e pelo exemplo de integridade. Ao Prof. Pedro Frosi Rosa, grande amigo, pela oportunidade, confiança e conselhos que tanto ajudaram no desenvolvimento da pesquisa e da minha vida pessoal. Ainda, pela sabedoria com que conduziu nossos cafés. "Se cheguei até aqui foi porque me apoiei no ombro dos gigantes".
We have demonstrated a dynamic QKD network with a latency-aware and QKD-capacity sensitive algorithm. This scheme negotiates the optimal key refresh period and assigns priorities for preferred channels. Network reconfiguration time is within 49ms.
