A low-delay SDN-based countermeasure to eavesdropping attacks in industrial control systems

Low delay network attributes randomization to proactively mitigate reconnaissance attacks in industrial control systems

“…Germano da Silva et al [27] propose a flow routes randomization technique to prevent all traffic from going down the same path by dispersing traffic over multiple routes to defend against unauthorized traffic interceptions. Since the transition to alternative routes is not performed adaptively, authors in [28] propose to use the hard-timeout field of the OpenFlow protocol to define several flow rules at once and minimize the latency introduced in the SDNbased industrial network.…”

Utilization of SDN Technology for Flexible EtherCAT Networks Applications

“…SDN may be applied in various areas: Internet of Things [33] and Wireless Sensor Networks [34][35][36], industrial systems [37], or on the factory floor [38]. They can be implemented to improve the management and maintenance of networks [39], as well as increasing the security by use of Intrusion Detection Systems [26], protecting against eavesdropping attacks [40,41], creating resilient networks [42], and enhancing network reliability [43]; related papers also concern communication determinism [27]. In further reference to SDN, the Future Industrial Network Architecture (FIND) defines a guidance on the industryrelated requirements in communication systems development [28].…”
