Security Awareness in Software-Defined Multi-Domain 5G Networks

Software-Defined 5G Networks: Challenges, and Technologies

The commoditization of key processing components coupled with virtualization of infrastructure functions will lead to a radical change in the economics of mobile networks. The latter will help network providers (e.g., MNO, MVNO) move from proprietary hardware and software platforms towards open and flexible cellular systems based on general-purpose cloud infrastructures. In this context, 5G sys...

Software-Defined Mobile Networks Security

The future 5G wireless is triggered by the higher demand on wireless capacity. With Software Defined Network (SDN), the data layer can be separated from the control layer. The development of relevant studies about Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and cloud computing has the potential of offering a quicker and more reliable network access for growing data traffic. Under such circumstances, ...

Real-Time Prototyping of 5G Software- Defined Networks: Part 3

Language-Based Security for Software-Defined Networks

In many settings, including campuses, enterprises, militaries, and datacenters, networks must be shared between entities that send and receive traffic over common hardware. We analyze the fundamental problem of how to program shared networks in a secure and reliable manner. Our solution is based on a new programming model that supports the concept of a network slice. Slices isolate the traffic ...

Security of Software Defined Networks (SDN)

Software defined networking (SDN) is a developing technology which completely changes the architecture and working of traditional networks. There has been growing urgency among networking developers to come up with a new set of devices to support Software Defined Networks and to implement better services in SDN compared to traditional networks. During these activities, security of the packets i...
