Abstract
As Software Defined Networking (SDN) applications gain fine-grained network control via the northbound interface, associated security risks are rising. Attackers can target this interface to steal sensitive network data and issue malicious commands, potentially causing network-wide outages. Current protection mechanisms offer coarse-grained protection and lack dynamic response capabilities. This paper presents DASPN (Dynamic Access Security Protection for Northbound Interface), a multi-level security model based on dynamic access control. DASPN ensures effective security through the joint operation of an Attribute-Based Access Control Layer and a Behavior Detection Layer.
