Bit error evaluation of optically preamplified direct detection receiver with Fabry-Perot optical filters
The error performance of a preamplified, direct detection receiver with an optical filter of the Lorentzian type is studied. The analysis takes into account the influence of the optical intersymbol interference (ISI). A closed-form expression of the moment generating function (MGF) of the decision variable is derived. Error probabilities are evaluated from the MGF using a saddlepoint approximation. The Gaussian approximation is also examined. The detection sensitivity in terms of a quantum limit is calculated. The results show that there exists an optimum optical bandwidth, the reason being a tradeoff between the effect of ISI and the spontaneous emission noise. It is also shown that the Gaussian approximation gives a good estimate of the error probability, allowing to find in a simple manner the optimum parameters of optically preamplified, direct detection receive

In-band time-to-live signaling system for combined DPSK/SCM scheme in OLS
We propose and validate experimentally a time-to-live (TTL) signaling system for an optical label swapping scheme based on 10-Gb/s differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK) packets and with 100-Mb/s subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) label. The proposed scheme allows fast packet discarding by using a 3-GHz subcarrier tone. DPSK payload has only a 2.4-dB power penalty at 10-9 bit-error rate after superimposing the SCM and TTL labeling signal
First end-to-end PQC protected DPU-to-DPU communications
The appearance of quantum computing in the short foreseeable future and its capability to break conventional cryptographic algorithms forces to change the paradigm of secure real-time communications. Thus, government organizations, data centers, and enterprises among others are migrating their public key infrastructure towards using post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms in order to mitigate the security threats posed by quantum computers. This letter presents the first quantum resilient secure end-to-end communication link based on PQC algorithms operating between two data-processing units DPU. Both data-processing units employ on-board ARM processors to perform the computationally expensive cryptographic building blocks—in that case CRYSTALS-Kyber as a key encapsulation mechanism and CRYSTALS-Dilithium for digital signature scheme in combination with advanced encryption standard with 256-bit key

Falcon/Kyber and Dilithium/Kyber Network Stack on Nvidia’s Data Processing Unit Platform
Commercially available quantum computers are expected to reshape the world in the near future. They are said to break conventional cryptographic security mechanisms that are deeply embedded in our today’s communication. Symmetric cryptography, such as AES, will withstand quantum attacks as long as the key sizes are doubled compared to today’s key lengths. Asymmetric cryptographic procedures, e.g. RSA, however are broken. It is therefore necessary to change the way we assure our privacy by adopting and moving towards post-quantum cryptography (PQC) principles. In this work, we benchmark three PQC algorithms, Falcon, Dilithium, and Kyber. Moreover, we present an implementation of a PQC stack consisting of the algorithms Dilithium/Kyber and Falcon/Kyber which use hardware accelerators for some key functions and evaluate their performance and resource utilization. Regarding a classic server-client model, the computational load of the Dilithium/Kyber stack is distributed more equally among server and client. The stack Falcon/Kyber biases the computational challenges towards the server, hence relieving the client of performing costly operations. We found that Dilithium’s advantage over Falcon is that Dilithium’s execution is faster while the workload to be performed is distributed equally among client and server, whereas Falcon’s advantage over Dilithium lies within the small signature sizes and the unequally distributed computational tasks. In a client server model with a performance limited client (i.e. Internet-of-Things - IoT - environments) Falcon could proof useful for it constrains the computational hard tasks to the server and leaves a minimal workload to the client. Furthermore, Falcon requires smaller bandwidth, making it a strong candidate for deep-edge or IoT applications
