SummaryIn recent years, artificial intelligence techniques, such as software‐defined networks (SDNs), machine learning classification (ML classification), and mobility models (MMs), have become vital in developing networks. Furthermore, communication methodologies, such as handover, directly affect network performance. In this paper, we propose a new system named SSHS, SDN Seamless Handover System, that combines SDN with an ML classifier to administer the network connection of mobile nodes. Through the SSHS system, the SDN will centralize the control to enable comprehensive management over the network, coupled with a decision tree (DT) classifier in the RYU controller to bring intelligence to the SDN application by enabling data analysis and prediction among mobile nodes generated by the RSSGM model. We present the SSHS model's effectiveness in providing a seamless communication handover among multiple access points (APs). The results of this study revealed that the SSHS provided a seamless handover among APs by improving the throughput by 26%, and decreasing the delay of arriving packets by 73% to standard SDN handover system.

“…In essence, Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is necessary to protect connections in the SDN. However, relying on TLS use alone is not enough and as is well known in the security community, the use of SSL / TLS does not guarantee a secure connection especially with the advent of quantum computers [7] [8], which can perform calculations very quickly, and have significantly affected classic security protocols.…”

Software-defined networking (SDN) has revolutionized the world of technology as networks have become more flexible, dynamic and programmable. The ability to conduct network slicing in 5G networks is one of the most crucial features of SDN implementation. Although network programming provides new security solutions of traditional networks, SDN and network slicing also have security issues, an important one being the weaknesses related to openflow channel between the data plane and controller as the network can be attacked via the openflow channel and exploit communications with the control plane. Our work proposes a solution to provide adequate security for openflow messages through using a hybrid key consisting of classical and quantum key distribution protocols to provide double security depending on the computational complexity and physical properties of quantum. To achieve this goal, the hybrid key used with transport layer security protocol to provide confidentiality, integrity and quantum authentication to secure openflow channel. We experimentally based on the SDN-testbed and network slicing to show the workflow of exchanging quantum and classical keys between the control plane and data plane and our results showed the effectiveness of the hybrid key to enhance the security of the transport layer security protocol. Thereby achieving adequate security for openflow channel against classical and quantum computer attacks.
