The current power grid is no longer a feasible solution due to ever-increasing user demand of electricity, old infrastructure, and reliability issues and thus require transformation to a better grid a.k.a., smart grid (SG). The key features…
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) grows for VoIP applications, and faces challenges including security and overload. On the other hand, the new concept of Software-defined Networking (SDN) has made great changes in the networked world. SDN…
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an important component in today's IP network infrastructure. As the main routing protocol of the Internet, clear understanding of its dynamics is crucial for configuring, diagnosing and debugging…
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging paradigm that promises to change this state of affairs, by breaking vertical integration, separating the network's control logic from the underlying routers and switches, promoting (logical)…
Software-defined networking (SDN) was devised to simplify network management and automate infrastructure sharing in wired networks. These benefits motivated the application of SDN in wireless sensor networks to leverage solutions for…
The evolution of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has so far been predominantly geared towards defining and refining the abstractions on the forwarding and control planes. However, despite a maturing south-bound interface and a range of…
The Software-defined networking(SDN) paradigm centralizes control decisions to improve programmability and simplify network management. However, this centralization turns the network vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks, and in the…
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sets up routes between the smaller networks that make up the Internet. Despite its crucial role, BGP is notoriously vulnerable to serious problems, including (1) propagation of bogus routing information due…
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is one of the most prevalent attacks that an organizational network infrastructure comes across nowadays. We propose a deep learning based multi-vector DDoS detection system in a software-defined network…

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging network control paradigm focused on logical centralization and programmability. At the same time, distributed routing protocols, most notably OSPF and IS-IS, are still prevalent in IP…
The Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) community has created solid results during the last three decades. One aspect that still requires focus, however, is the simplification of configuring systems participating in DTN communication. In this…
The Internet inter-domain routing system is vulnerable. On the control plane, the de facto Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) does not have built-in mechanisms to authenticate routing announcements, so an adversary can announce virtually…
Currently, different forms of ransomware are increasingly threatening Internet users. Modern ransomware encrypts important user data and it is only possible to recover it once a ransom has been paid. In this paper we show how…
Recent years witnessed a surge in network traffic due to the emergence of new online services, causing periodic saturation and complexity problems. Additionally, the growing number of IoT devices further compounds the problem. Software…
Software-defined networking (SDN) eases network management by centralizing the control plane and separating it from the data plane. The separation of planes in SDN, however, introduces new vulnerabilities in SDN networks since the…
