Abstract:
Keeping data integrity and privacy is a major design concern for telemedicine applications, where sensitive and personal information are collected and disseminated over telecommunication system. For this reason, this study discusses the network characteristics and security issues in the Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON), which is responsible for conveying traffic between the hospital or healthcare centers and patients. Subsequently, different types of security challenges are classified and a survey of solutions is presented. The purpose of this research is to highlight the security issues in EPON system as a transmission method of telemedicine services and any person will be aware of the potential attacks during data transmission.
