Information security is the basis of economic development, information construction, and the protection of people’s and national interest. In this paper, the performance of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted mixed dual-hop free-space optical-radio frequency (FSO-RF) communication systems is studied and analyzed to ensure the safe transmission of information. In this scheme, it is assumed that the atmospheric turbulence in the fading of the FSO channel follows the exponentiated Weibull distribution model and the fading of the RF channel follows the Rayleigh distribution model. Based on the mathematical function, the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of RIS-assisted mixed dual-hop FSO-RF communication systems are derived. Then, the expression of outage probability and the bit error rate of the system are derived from the channel statistics. Finally, the analysis results are verified by Monte Carlo simulation, and the effects of different parameters on the system performance are analyzed. The simulation results show that the atmospheric turbulence parameters, channel distance of FSO, intensity of atmospheric turbulence, and number of reflectors all affect the system performance.
