Detecting man-in-the-middle attacks via hybrid quantumclassical protocol in software-defined network

Man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks became one of the most risk on OpenFlow communication channel in software-defined networking, its detection is a very hard task due there no authentication protocol. This important network and responsible for sending control commands from controller to switches, so once hacked, entire controlled by attacker. Therefore, we propose complementary solution transport layer security protocol detect man-in-the-middle based hybrid quantum-classical Based protocol, an easy-toimplement between switches depends quantum classical layers. Also, eavesdropping depending parameters. In this paper, implement simulation using networking emulator monitoring attacks, results showed ease detecting eavesdrop verifying other party with method get high level authentication.
