PROTECTION OF RESOURCES OF AN SDN VIRTUAL NETWORK THAT UTILISES HIDDEN ID TAGS, A HIDDEN NETWORK DRIVER AND HSwitch HIDDEN SWITCHING

摘要

The article presents a concept of use of a hidden data layer (HDL) in software defined networks (SDN). It also describes verification of integrity of network elements for a dedicated sdn network through their authentication using hidden id tags. Moreover, it presents a concept of protection of sdn network against ddos attacks using a hidden switching mechanism (HSwitch). The proposed solutions may become new standards for protection of network resources using data hiding technique.
