SGER: Massively Parallel Secure Fault Tolerant Systems for Optical Storage and Transmission of Data

这是一份申请探索性研究（SGER）小额资助的提案。该提案描述了一个为期一年的活动，PI将利用光学的并行性、大带宽和互连性的优势，对光电和光学系统量身定制的安全信息系统进行调查。通过光电A/D和干涉测量方法对安全数据进行适当编码，加密后的数据可以安全地通过光学或电子网络发送。使用光学中多个自由度的多维密钥增加了破译密码的数学可能性。潜在的应用包括信息资产保护、数据库安全、远程站点的个人验证和身份识别、文件安全和监视。提出的工作是为了证明光学编码技术的可行性

9908818JavidiThis is a proposal requesting consideration for a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) award. This proposal describes a one-year activity in which the PI will conduct investigations on secure information systems tailored to optoelectronic and optical systems by taking the advantage of the parallelism, large bandwidth and interconnections of optics. By properly encoding of secure data using optoelectronic A/D and interferometric methods, the encrypted data can be sent over the optical or electronic networks securely. Multi-dimensional keys using many degrees of freedom in optics increases the number of mathematical possibilities to break a code. Potential applications include protection of information assets, database security, personal verification and identification from remote sites, document security and surveillance. The proposed work is to demonstrate the feasibility of the optical encoding techniques.***
