contents We study a visible light communication (VLC) system that employs a colored reconfigurable intelligent surface (CRIS) based on dichroic mirrors that reflect light at tunable frequencies. A verifier can use the CRIS to authenticate transmissions by comparing received multicolor power profiles with expected patterns. Four CRIS configuration strategies are evaluated: a deterministic cyclic pattern, static random reflectance, dynamic random reflectance, and dynamic random permutation of fixed profiles. Randomized configurations, especially dynamic ones, achieve superior authentication, enabling a novel challenge-response physical-layer authentication scheme over CRIS.
