Semantic Security Tools in Software-Defined Networks

Abstract

Software-defined networks are a promising technology for constructing communication networks, where network management is the software that configures network devices. This contrasts the traditional approach based on configuring individual devices. This controlling software make it possible to dynamically route the configuration of data streams in the network, depending on service quality requirements. That said, however, it becomes necessary to ensure a secure data transfer [23], e.g., so that streams from confidential nodes could not reach an open segment of the network. The article shows how this task is solved by semantic tools.
