- Insecurity in ATM-Based Passive Optical Networks
- 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...
