Emerging open networking technologies and paradigms, such as
Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization
(NFV), and programmable networks, are reshaping the way networks are
designed, deployed, and managed. The benefits are manifold, including
an unprecedented flexibility for network operation and management, and
a favorable environment for delivering innovative network applications
and services. However, this paradigm shift brings a multitude of
security challenges that have to be addressed in order to provide
secure, trustworthy, and privacy-preserving data communication and
network services. Addressing these challenges may require not only
revisiting existing solutions (e.g., for intrusion detection, privacy
preserving, and resilience against attacks), but also designing novel
security and resilience schemes tailored to the specific design of
open networking technologies and infrastructures.
