Security vulnerabilities that are specific to AONs stem from the characteristics of the physical devices, such as fiber and amplifiers. Thus, attack avoidance can only be achieved by a judicious design of components after understanding the security vulnerabilities and the techniques for detection, localization, and response to attacks.
