Experimental Analysis of Adaptive ML Classifiers for Dynamic Detection of Emerging Physical-Layer Attacks
Paper in proceeding, 2025

We experimentally evaluate three ML classifiers for detecting physical-layer attacks in optical networks. Using telemetry data from a real-world testbed under six attack types, we achieve Balanced Accuracy of up to 0.936 for unseen attacks, and demonstrate rapid adaptation of Multilayer Perceptron to evolving threats.
