Insecurity in ATM-Based Passive Optical Networks
Category: Networking and Communications
Tags: itu, atm, authentication
Overview This paper considers the security of an ITU standard for ATM-based passive optical networks. First, it shows 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, it shows that the authentication mechanisms have significant weaknesses. The conclusion is that these measures should not be relied upon to provide security.
