Abstract
Consistent with the present disclosure, a method and related system for secure autonomic optical transport networks are disclosed. The method includes steps for adding a network element in an optical network. The method includes an initial step of verifying, with a new network element, a first identifier certificate from a proxy network element. In a further step, a second identifier certificate from the new network element is verified with the proxy element. A registrar is used 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 Next, a local certificate is generated on the new network element. The local certificate is derived from a secure module and sent to the proxy network element for forwarding to the registrar. Further, the new network element in the autonomic domain is enrolled, with the registrar. Moreover, the local certificate is signed with the registrar and the signed local certificate is sent to the new network element.
