Abstract: Disclosed is a secret-key provisioning (SKP) method and device based on an optical line terminal (OLT), which can generate an SKP queue according to key requests received; generate at least one secret-key according to the SKP queue; and store the at least one secret-key in key pools (KPs) of corresponding ONUS. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is also disclosed.

Abstract: A substantially anhydrous gel useful for bleaching teeth comprising: (i) at least 25% by weight of organic polyol; (ii) less than 3% by weight polyacrylic acid thickening agent; (iii) at least 10% by weight carbamide peroxide (or a chemically equivalent amount of another bleaching agent, such as 3% by weight hydrogen peroxide); (iv) neutralizing agent; (v) chelating agents; (vi) desensitizing agent; and (vii) miscellaneous ingredients such as Cirtoxain® and flavorants. The organic polyol is preferably glycerin. The polyacrylic acid thickening agent is preferably a carbomer. The desensitizing agent is preferably potassium nitrate, strontium chloride, potassium citrate, strontium nitrate, or a similarly effective alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of an organic or inorganic acid.
