“…8 The lack of OLT authentication in EPONs is highlighted by. 9,10 They notice that EPONs contain an automatic discovery and registration process, while a standard authentication mechanism has not been defined. An attacker can introduce a fake OLT to the network that operates in promiscuous mode and disables the Logical Link Identification (LLID) filtering rules in order to eavesdrop sensitive information and gain access to the network resources.…”

Broadcasting the downstream traffic makes the Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs) vulnerable to eavesdropping which is typically the initial step of an active attack, such as Man in the Middle attack (MITM). A MITM attack in such a network can be implemented by employing a fake Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and overwhelm computational, bandwidth, or energy resources. The latter is of great interest since Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are estimated to be the largest energy consumers among optical networks. In this paper we use formal analysis to quantitatively assess the impact of a fake OLT attacking an EPON energy‐efficiency mechanism. Formal verification techniques, such as model checking, constitute the perfect candidate for security verification, since they can analyze systems and protocols based on rigorous model definitions. Our results show that a MITM attack increases the energy expenditure, since it enforces the Optical Network Units (ONUs) to stay in the active mode even in cases of none network traffic.

“…In this society of highly developed information technology, authentication technology is particularly important as the first line of defense in information security. In recent years, a series of authentication techniques that use optical structures and principles have been reported [1][2][3][4][5]. Due to its fast operation speed and multi-dimensional information loading, optical identity authentication technology has attracted more and more attention.…”

With the rapid development of computer technology, information security has attracted more and more attention. It is not only related to the information and property security of individuals and enterprises, but also to the security and social stability of a country. Identity authentication is the first line of defense in information security. In authentication systems, response time and security are the most important factors. An optical authentication technology based on compressive ghost imaging with QR codes is proposed in this paper. The scheme can be authenticated with a small number of samples. Therefore, the response time of the algorithm is short. At the same time, the algorithm can resist certain noise attacks, so it offers good security.
