An Anonymization Service for Software-Defined Networks

Abstract

This paper presents a service to make the anonymization in SDN to guarantee the availability of the services in the network through the concealment of the stations. Because of this it was developed the anonymizer BomIP using C Language and Libpcap Library, then it was included as a service on RunOS OpenFlow Controller. To validate this service it were made three cases studies on a simulated environment of a Denial of Service attack. The results shows that BomIP has a running time 65% better than others anonymizers, besides BomIP guarantees that all packets can be tracked and a mitigation of 80% from the attacks trials, supporting the services provides by the newtork to continue running.
