Abstract
All-optical networks are emerging as a promising technology for terabi t per second class communications. However, they are intrinsically dif ferent from electro-optical networks, particularly because they do not regenerate signals in the network. The characteristics of all-optical network components and architectures manifest new and still unstudied security vulnerabilities but also offer a new array of possible count ermeasures.
