The proposition of increased innovation in network applications and reduced cost for network operators has won over the networking world to the vision of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). With the excitement of holistic visibility across the network and the ability to program network devices, developers have rushed to present a range of new SDN-compliant hardware, software and services. However, amidst this frenzy of activity, one key element has only recently entered the debate: Network Security. In this article, security in SDN is surveyed presenting both the research community and industry advances in this area. The challenges to securing the network from the persistent attacker are discussed and the holistic approach to the security architecture that is required for SDN is described. Future research directions that will be key to providing network security in SDN are identified.

“…The next likely target after that is in corporate networks, which already have islands of SDN that they wish to link up; and in large carriers, where the driver will be saving labour costs. More complex multitenanted networks, such as the airport example discussed in [1] here last year, may follow.…”

“…In a data centre the SDN control plane may be implemented that way (with suitable provision for fail-over), but beyond that we must expect it to be a distributed system, perhaps based on a distributed database of configuration and network state. The control plane may be implemented as a hierarchy of systems (as we described in our 2013 paper [1]), with local systems making decisions for the local network, and regional or global systems making higher level, larger-grain decisions. The argument for SDN is that once liberated from today's routers, whose function is based on the network and computing resources of the 1970's, the control plane can be transformed.…”

“…In an earlier paper, we used as an example an airport where we might have 100,000 staff working for 3,000 different firms which include not just competitors but also organisations in a state of conflict (for example, El Al and Iran Air) [1]. That paper discussed using hierarchical control structures to delegate trust with mechanisms focussed on preventing denial-of-service attacks, with the assumption that confidentiality and integrity would be provided by the principals at higher layers.…”

Software Defined Networking (SDN) deconstructs the current routing infrastructure into a small number of controllers, which are general purpose computers, and a large number of switches which are programmable forwarding engines. It is already deployed in data centres, where it offers considerable advantages of both cost and flexibility over a switching fabric of traditional routers. Such applications have a single controlling organisation and issues of trust between subdomains do not really arise. However for SDN to fulfil its potential, it is necessary to design and develop mechanisms for smart networks with mututally mistrustful principals.

With the great success of the second‐generation wireless telephone technology and the third‐generation mobile telecommunications technology, and the fast development of the fourth‐generation mobile telecommunications technology, the phase of fifth‐generation mobile networks or fifth‐generation wireless systems (5G) is coming. In this article, we indicate the open research issues of 5G security and trust in the context of virtualized networking and software‐defined networking. We further propose a framework of security and trust focusing on solving 5G network security issues. The proposed framework applies adaptive trust evaluation and management technologies and sustainable trusted computing technologies to ensure computing platform trust and achieve software‐defined network security. It adopts cloud computing to securely deploy various trustworthy security services over the virtualized networks. We analyze that the framework can support and satisfy all security requirements specified in standardization. We also suggest future research work according to the proposed framework and discuss the advantages of our framework in terms of practical deployment. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
