Abstract:
Methods and systems for secure autonomic optical transport networks are disclosed, including a method of adding a network element in an optical network, comprising: verifying, with a new network element, a first identifier certificate from a proxy network element; verifying, with the proxy network element, a second identifier certificate from the new network element; using a registrar for verifying the second identifier certificate from the proxy network element and sending domain specific parameters to the proxy network element for forwarding to the new network element; generating, on the new network element, a local certificate derived from a secure module and sending it to the proxy network element for forwarding to the registrar; enrolling, with the registrar, the new network element in the autonomic domain; and signing, with the registrar, the local certificate and sending the signed local certificate to the new network element.
