Despite this evolution, the physical layer of these networks still have vulnerabilities to several kinds of attacks including eavesdropping, interception, jamming, and attacks on physical infrastructure. To combat or prevent these networks attacks, the adaption of techniques to ensure the confidentiality of information is essential. In this context, this presents a new technique of optical encryption based on spectral slicing. In this technique, coding is performed by dividing the optical signal into n spectral slices. After the signal is split, each slice passes thought an optical bandpass filter that has function of allocate each spectral slice to a particular frequency. Subsequently, the signal will be submitted to another two stages of encoding, as following. At first stage the signal will receive a phase shift, we call this stage as Phase-Shift Encoding. After that in the following stage it will receive a signal delay in bits per symbol, this is called the delay spectral coding. The signal deciphering is performed at the decoder stage, by removing phases and delays inserted in each spectral slice during the encoding process. Measurements of the optical signal to noise ratio and bit error rate of coded signals, BERC, and decoded, signals BERD, were used as parameter to evaluate the robustness of the technique. The technique performance was evaluated by simulation on software VPI Photonics?, on Transmission Maker version 9.0. In these simulations, we studied the signals in time and frequency domains, using several modulation techniques like Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK), Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK), 16 symbols quadrature amplitude modulation (16 - QAM), with rates of 40 Gbps for DPSK and XII DQPSK signals and 200 Gbps for 16-QAM signals. The simulation results were satisfactory in all cases: BERC exceeds 10% degradation of the signals and the decoder BERD was less than 10-15, which is considered an error free transmission. / As redes ?pticas t?m evolu?do significativamente nos ?ltimos anos. Apesar dessa evolu??o, a camada f?sica dessas redes ainda apresenta vulnerabilidades para diversos tipos ataques, incluindo espionagem, intercep??o, bloqueio e ataques ? infraestrutura f?sica. Para combater ou prevenir as redes desses ataques, ? essencial que se adote t?cnicas que garantam o sigilo das informa??es. Neste contexto, este trabalho apresenta uma nova t?cnica de criptografia ?ptica baseada em fatiamento espectral. Nesta t?cnica, a codifica??o ? realizada por meio da divis?o do sinal ?ptico em n fatias espectrais. Ap?s a divis?o, o sinal de cada fatia passa por um filtro ?ptico passa banda que tem a fun??o de alocar cada fatia espectral numa determinada frequ?ncia. Posteriormente, o sinal pode ser submetido a dois est?gios de codifica??o. No primeiro est?gio ? realizada a codifica??o de fase espectral. Nesta a codifica??o ? feita por desvio de fase. No segundo, a codifica??o ? feita por meio de atraso dos bits/s?mbolos, esta ? denominada codifica??o espectral por atraso. A recupera??o do sinal ? realizada no decodificador por interm?dio da compensa??o das fases e Atrasos inseridos em cada fatia espectral do codificador. As medi??es da rela??o sinal-ru?do ?ptico e das taxas de erro de bits dos sinais codificados, BERc, e decodificados, BERd, foram adotadas como crit?rios de avalia??o da robustez t?cnica. O desempenho da t?cnica foi investigado por interm?dio de simula??o com o software VPI Transmission Maker vers?o 9.0. Nestas simula??es, foram avaliados os sinais nos dom?nios do tempo e frequ?ncia. Foram realizadas simula??es com os sinais modulados por X chaveamento diferencial de fase (Differential Phase Shift Keying, DPSK), deslocamento de fase diferencial em quadratura (Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, DQPSK) e modula??o de amplitude em quadratura de 16 s?mbolos (Quadrature amplitude modulation, 16-QAM), com as taxas de transmiss?es de 40 Gbps para os sinais DPSK e DQPSK e 200 Gbps para os sinais 16-QAM. Os resultados das simula??es foram satisfat?rios, em todos os casos, BERc foram superiores a 10% de degrada??o dos sinais e no decodificador BERd foram inferiores a 10-15 que ? considerada livre de erros de bits.
