In this paper, we propose chaotic compressive sensing (CS) encryption algorithms for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network (OFDM-PON), aiming at compressing the transmitted data and enhancing the security of data transmission. Bitstream transmission using CS directly is restricted due to its inability to satisfy the sparsity in neither time nor frequency domain. While the sparsity of the transmitted data can be constructed when transmitting the multimedia. A sensor can be then used to identify whether the data is multimedia. If it is, the CS technique is used, and the sensor’s result is set as side information inserted into the pilot and transmitted to the terminal simultaneously. For encryption processing, a 2-dimensional logistic-sine-coupling map (2D-LSCM) is used to generate pseudo-random numbers to construct the first row of a measurement matrix to encrypt the system. Four transform formats are then applied to generate the sparsity of the transmitted data. Due to the restriction of data transmission in the physical layer, the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is chosen to conduct the CS technique. Four approximation algorithms are also proposed to optimize the performance of compressing the length of bits. We find that ‘ Round + Set negative to 0 ’ shows the best performance. The combination of this chaotic CS encryption technique with the OFDM-PON systems saves the bandwidth and improves the security.
