Secure Information Exchange Between Optical Network Digital Twin and Optical Transport Network
This paper explores the role of data spaces in enabling secure, interoperable data exchange between Network Digital Twins and SDN Controllers. This approach emphasizes data space connectors for faster, scalable, and flexible integration of multiple components across digital ecosystems to work in unison. The proposed approach is to use a common trusted platform (in this paper, the platform used is TRUE Connector) which is responsible for secure information exchange between components(e.g: SDN Controller, Network Digital Twins, Software applications, etc.) in a digital ecosystem, thus encouraging collaboration between multiple technology vendors to provide more efficient network services and encourage interoperability.
