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...

Investigating current state Security of OpenFlow Networks: Focusing on the control-data plane communications

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is the emerging paradigm that breaks vertical integration in networks, separating the network’s control logic from the underlying network devices such as routers and switches.<br/>The decoupling of this data plane and control plane, there is need for a new communication channel which is used for the communication...
