Abstract

The transfer of large, bursty files has been made possible by the advancement of technology in ultrafast optical TDM networks. Such transfers require ultrafast encryption using pseudorandom key streams. We propose a new sequence generator, based on both optical logic and electronic FSRs, that generates sequences at optical rates. The complexity of the sequence depends on that of the electronic controller
