Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a security policy by improving the extensible authentication protocol (EAP)-IKEv2 (Internet key exchange version-2) for key exchange together with advanced encryption standard in counter mode (AES-CTR) for encryption. This approach mitigate the involved security issues like mutual authentication and data confidentiality in emerging fiber-wireless (FiWi) networks based on integrated EPON and WLAN networks.
