Abstract

The emergence of Software Defined Network (SDN) technology greatly simplifies network management, separating the control plane from the data plane, achieving the separation of network logic and data, making the deployment and management of network devices easier. However, the openness of SDN provides attackers with the opportunity to invade and disrupt the network, while traditional switches do not have access control capabilities. Therefore, in SDN environments, traditional switches will become a springboard for attackers to invade the network. Therefore, it is necessary to design a security mechanism to achieve secure communication between controllers and switches. This article first analyzes the security mechanism of traditional switches and points out their shortcomings and shortcomings; Next, the security issues brought about by separating network logic and data after separating SDN control plane and data plane were introduced; Then a solution was proposed.
