Abstract
A system includes an optical network unit and a head-end or central office connected to a multi-drop optical network. The optical network unit transmits dim optical pulses via the multi-drop optical network using quantum cryptographic mechanisms to distribute encryption key symbols, where the dim optical pulses include one of single-photon optical pulses or weak attenuated optical pulses. The head-end or central office detects the dim optical pulses from the optical network unit, derives the encryption key symbols from the detected dim optical pulses, and encrypts data transmitted to the optical network unit using the encryption key symbols.
