A STRIDE-Based Secure Framework for Software-Defined Networking

Security vulnerabilities in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can result in cyberattacks impacting the entire network. The primary objective of this work is to present a novel framework that aims to improve the security of SDN. The study thoroughly classifies security vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques using the STRIDE cybersecurity threat model, which includes categories such as Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service (DoS), and Elevation of Privilege. This study delves into potential security attacks and vulnerabilities and presents an innovative, resilient, secure framework specific to SDN. The framework presents an integrated approach to bolstering network security in modern network architectures.
