CMD: A convincing mechanism for MITM detection in SDN
Kai Zhang, Xiaofeng Qiu · 2018
There are many security problems in network environment. Among them, man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, as a typical network attack, greatly threatens the communication of network and damages victims. Until now, solutions to reduce the MITM attacks still have many limits. In this paper, we proposed a proactive detection mechanism CMD to detect MITM attacks in SDN (Software Defined Network). The topology and connection characteristics of network traffic are utilized by CMD, without the analysis of packet contents. Through the theoretical analysis and experimental verification, CMD shows good time and accuracy performance.
