Insecurity in ATM-based passive optical networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the security of an ITU standard for ATM-based passive optical networks. First, we show that the standard’s encryption algorithm, called churning, has an effective 8-bit key length and thus is trivial to break with exhaustive keysearch. Second, we show that the authentication mechanisms have significant weaknesses. The conclusion is that these measures should not be relied upon to provide security.

Atm Network Planning: a Genetic Algorithm Approach
The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network is expected to become a backbone network for high speed multimedia services as the demand for applications such as internet and video on demand increases. One of the major issues in ATM network is the design. The design of an optimal ATM network is a complex comprehensive task. ATM network based on Passive Optical Network (PON) is one such solution. ...
متن کاملWindow - Based Permit Distribution Scheme for ATM Passive Optical Network ∗
Recent progress in the optical transmission technology makes an ATM passive optical network (APON) a good candidate for access networks. APON based on tree topology requires efficient medium access control (MAC) to multiplex upstream data flows efficiently while not disturbing the original pattern. In this paper, we proposed a Window-based permit distribution scheme for the MAC protocol of APON...

For the future development of residential broadband telecommunication services the present access infrastructure must be upgraded. Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) optical networks, though still expensive today, appear to be a future-proof solution. FTTH networks based on passive optical Remote Nodes (RN) and supporting ATM switching (ATM-PONs) have been demonstrated and are going to be standardized. I...

متن کاملAn Overview of Broad-Band Access Technologies
The provision of broad-band services based on either the Internet or the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technique requires a new generation of access networks. In the short term, solutions such as x-digital subscriber line (DSL) and hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC), allowing the reuse of existing infrastructures, look very promising. For the longer term, new infrastructures based either on radio or...
