Design and Implementation of SDN-Based Secure Architecture for IoT-Lab

Abstract

There are various IoT devices with many different hardware environments and an ecosystem that will enable these various devices to work together is not yet existent. As IoT networks are becoming more widespread, the number of connections that has to be handled is increasing in a high rate. There is a need for a smarter network management which can handle these connections and security considerations. In this paper, we propose a secure network architecture leveraging SDN for an IoT-based laboratory. Thanks to the IoT-devices, the proposed work enables to automate the basic tasks in a public laboratory while at the same time SDN-based network architecture ensures the security requirements of the IoT network.
