Abstract

We address emerging threats to the security of optical networks, mainly loss of the confidentiality of user data transmitted through optical fibers and disturbances of network control, both of which could seriously damage the entire network. Distributed acoustic sensors can be used to detect these threats to the fiber-optic infrastructure before they cause damage to the infrastructure and proactively re-route the traffic towards links were no threat is detected. In this talk we will review our recent progress on distributed acoustic sensing and will provide some key considerations for the deployment of these systems in connection with their use in the protection of optical networks.
