Abstract

The next generation WDM/TDM-PON is scalable and delivers elastically ultra-high data rates to thousands of end-users, and therefore network security becomes particularly important. We identify different levels of security and responsibilities in the communications network, we identify vulnerabilities in the optical access network and we describe the security features of the next generation PON network.
