| Περίληψη: | Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a network architecture that decouples the control plane from the data plane, enabling centralized, programmable management of network traffic. SDN introduces centralized control and programmability to modern networks, improving flexibility while also exposing new security vulnerabilities across the application, control, and data planes. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of SDN security threats and defenses, covering recent developments in controller hardening, trust management, route optimization, and anomaly detection. Based on these findings, we present a comparative analysis of SDN controllers in terms of performance, scalability, and deployment complexity. This culminates in the introduction of the Cloud-to-Edge Layer Two (CELT)-Secure switch, a virtual OpenFlow-based data-plane security mechanism. CELT-Secure detects and blocks Internet Control Message Protocol flooding attacks in approximately two seconds and actively disconnects hosts engaging in Address Resolution Protocol-based man-in-the-middle attacks. In comparative testing, it achieved detection performance 10.82 times faster than related approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
