Study the impact of topology-related attacks in Software Defined Network

The Software Defined Network (SDN) is a relatively new paradigm that aims to tackle the lack of centralization in the existing network by separating the control centre from the programming data plane. The controller keeps an overview of the structure of the whole network, which makes it vulnerable to possible topology poisoning attacks. Topology...

Study Of The Impact Of Side-channel Attacks On Software Defined Networks

Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) are a promising new network design paradigm that allows for better control of the network. But as with any new software implementation, there are new security concerns that arise. In the past there have been various papers covering specific side-channel attacks on SDNs; most of them consist of either using time...

Controller-Related Security Risks and Vulnerabilities in Software-Defined Networking

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a relatively new networking paradigm that proposes to separate the control and the data logic in networks. The control logic is centralized in a controller, which allows for a programmable network. SDN is promising but also intro- duces some critical security vulnerabilities to networks. This work proposes a...

Analyzing Flow Rule Attacks and Policy Enforcement in Software Defined Networking

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm that allows for greater reliability and more efficient management compared to traditional networks. However, SDN security is a developing field, and research towards fixing significant security vulnerabilities is still ongoing. One major threat to SDN security are attacks that seek to exploit...
