Securing communication in multiple autonomous system domains with software defined networking

Abstract

<p>In this paper we proposed policy based security architecture for securing the communication in multiple Autonomous System (AS) domains with Software Defined Networks (SDN). We will present a high level overview of the architecture and detail discussion on some of the important components for securing the communication in multiple AS domains. A key component of the security architecture is the specification of security policies that are to be enforced on the SDN communications whether they are intra or inter-domain. We will present example scenarios to demonstrate the operation of the security architecture to enable end-to-end secure communication within a single AS domain and for multiple AS domains. We have justified the model using ONOS controller.</p>
