    Abstract: A method divides data traffic into multiple optical transport units formatted according to an optical transport network (OTN) standard. The multiple optical transport units include a master optical network unit and one or more slave optical network units. Each optical network unit includes overhead and a payload. The overhead includes used overhead specifically defined in the OTN standard and unused overhead not specifically defined in the OTN standard. The method encrypts each optical network unit with a respective one of multiple encryption keys, defines security control parameters identifying the multiple encryption keys, and inserts the security control parameters into the unused overhead of a first slave optical network unit among the one or more slave optical network units. The method transmits the optical network units in encrypted form.
