Summation and Division of Status algorithm for multiple crosstalk attacks source identification

All Optical Networks operate in optical domain eliminating the process of Optical-to-Electrical-to-Optical contributes to the transparency characteristics of all optical networks. Transparency of all optical networks makes it vulnerable in term of physical security where the attacks cannot be detected at its transparent components. Hence, it is important to identify the source of crosstalk attack so that network management system can take accurate actions to ensure network survivability. In this paper, a multiple crosstalk attack source identification algorithm called Summation And Division Status is proposed and evaluated via the crosstalk attack propagation model where the crosstalk attacks contaminated all nodes in the network. The result obtained shows that the proposed algorithm successfully identifies multiple sources of crosstalk attack in Grid, NSF and Mesh networks.
