摘要: One of the core properties Software Defined Networking (SDN) is ability for third parties to develop network applications. This introduces increased potential innovation in networking from performance-enhanced energy-efficient designs. In SDN, application connects with via SDN controller. A specific concern relating this communication channel whether an can be trusted or not. For example, what information about state gathered by application? Is necessary execute it malicious intent? paper we present approach secure northbound interface introducing a permissions system that ensures controller operations are available applications only. Implementation our Operation Checkpoint adds negligible overhead and illustrates successful defense against unauthorized control function access attempts.
