Securing Passive Optical Networks Against Signal Injection Attacks

Passive optical access networks are susceptible to intended attacks and unintended failures. This paper discusses intrusion by user-side signalinjection resulting in reduced network accessibility and it proposes possible countermeasures. The central function is that an intruding signal can be switched off when it is present.
