SDN-NFV Sec 2021 : ACM International Workshop on Software Defined Networks & Network Function Virtualization Security

The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research in finding viable solutions to the security challenges faced by two emerging networking paradigms, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) .

We solicit unpublished research papers, both regular (8 pages max) and short position (4 pages max) papers, that address the latest practices, experiences, and lessons learned on SDN and NFV security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Security, reliability and privacy through SDN and NFV in 5G networks

Management and orchestration of NFV and SDN elements for security

Secure design of NFV and SDN solutions, security enablers

Security threats and vulnerabilities introduced by NFV and SDN technologies

Threat detection and mitigation through SDN and NFV

Security policy specification and management in SDN and NFV systems

Security related monitoring and analytics in SDN and NFV solutions

5G security architecture, trust and confidence

Authentication, authorization and Accounting in SDN

Secure SDN with Blockchain

Security of applying SDN to wireless and mobile network

Security of applying NFV and SDN to IoT

Security of applying NFV and SDN to cloud computing

Security of SDN API

Risk and compliance issues in SDN

Securing SDN infrastructure

Security architecture for SDN

Security standard of SDN

Security of SDN data plane

Security of SDN control plane

Security of SDN application plane

Security of Routing in SDN

Security of network slicing

Security as a service for SDN
