[LinkSec] EPON security




In both Antti's presentation in Vancouver, and in a paper by Liu, Valencia, and
  Kabaya, encryption of the downstream link (OLT to ONU) is referred to frequently,
  along with "key churn technology" (in the Liu, et al, paper).

Does this imply a SHARED KEY in the downstream direction?  Inquiring minds want
  to know...
