Abstract: A data communication apparatus which improves security against eavesdropping is provided for secret communication using Y-00 protocol. In a data transmitting apparatus 101, a multi-level code generation section 111 generates, based on key information 11, a multi-level code sequence 12 in which a signal level changes so as to be approximately random numbers. A multi-level processing section 112 generates a multi-level signal 13 having a plurality of levels each corresponding to a combination between information data 10 and the multi-level code sequence 12. A level conversion section 113 divides the plurality of levels of the multi-level signal 13 into several groups, and allocates one level of a converted multi-level signal 21 to a plurality of levels included in each of the several groups in an overlapped manner. The level conversion section 113 then converts the multi-level signal 13 into the converted multi-level signal 21.

Abstract: A data communication system that enhances concealment by significantly increasing the time required for a wiretapper to decrypt a cipher text. The data communication system is constituted by connecting a data transmitting apparatus (13105) to a data receiving apparatus (11201) via a transmission path (110). In the data transmitting apparatus (13105), a multilevel encoding part (111) receives a predetermined first initial value (key information) and information data and generates a multilevel signal that varies in level substantially in a random number manner. A dummy signal superimposing part (118) superimposes a dummy signal on the multilevel signal. A modulating part (112) converts the multilevel signal to a modulated signal of a predetermined modulation form and transmits the modulated signal.

Abstract: A dynamic range of intensity modulation is set to range from a maximum intensity Smax to a minimum intensity Smin. A difference ?(=Smax?Smin) between the maximum intensity Smax and the minimum intensity Smin is divided by the number 2M of multilevel signals. Thus, a distance (an intensity difference) between adjacent signals is [?/2M]. The number 2M of multilevel signals is selected such that the distance [?/2M] between adjacent multilevel signals (between an intensity Si and an intensity Si+1) is sufficiently buried within a range of quantum fluctuations obtained when heterodyne measurements are made or buried within a range of quantum shot noise obtained when a direct detection is made. Bases of a basis group are each positioned for intensity signals so as to have a high intensity and a low intensity between which a distance is set to be a certain value smaller than a middle point intensity [?/2].

A multi-level processing section generates a multi-level signal having a plurality of levels each corresponding to a combination between the information data and the multi-level code sequence. A modulator section modulates a multi-level signal in a predetermined modulation method and outputs a modulated signal.

Abstract: Provided is a data communication apparatus which significantly increases time necessary for an eavesdropper to analyze cipher text and which is superior in concealability based on astronomical computational complexity. A multi-level signal, which is generated by using data and key information, has a minor amplitude modulation, which is based on a random number signal generated on a transmission side, overlapped thereon, and is then transmitted. On a receiving side, instead of data decision, three types of decision, i.e., “1”, “0” and “decision impossible”, are performed on a random number signal by using two threshold values whose interval is significantly wider than a modulation amplitude based on random numbers. Information of a bit whose decision is performed successively is returned to the transmission side, and the bit is used commonly as a new key. Accordingly, in a single transmitting/receiving apparatus, cipher text transmission and key distribution can be realized simultaneously.

Abstract: An optical SSB-SC modulation section 13 subjects an optical signal fa outputted from an optical source 11 to an optical SSB-SC modulation based on the amplitude of an external electric signal fc to thereby output an optical intensity-modulated signal. An optical phase modulation section 14 subjects the optical signal fa to an optical phase modulation based on the amplitude levels of the first to nth external electric signals having frequencies f1 to fn to thereby output the resultant signal as an optical phase-modulated signal. An optical combining section 15 combines together the optical intensity-modulated signal and the optical phase-modulated signal. An optical detecting section 16 performs an optical homodyne detection through a squared detection of the optical intensity-modulated signal and the optical phase-modulated signal combined together to thereby produce a wideband modulated signal, being the difference beat signal between the two optical signals.
