The analysis of mate attack in sdn based on stride model

Abstract

Software defined network (SDN) is an emerging technology that decouples the control plane from data plane in its network architecture. This architecture exposes new threats that do not appear in the traditional IP network. And probably One of the main serious attacks is man-at-the-end (MATE) attack. This paper addresses the existing preventing methods based on selected criteria and analyzes the Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service and Elevation of Privilege (STRIDE) Model to determine the related attacks to MATE and which one can be the entry point to MATE. Furthermore, a new method to solve the MATE problem is proposed.
