Attacks in a software-defined network (SDN) are hard to find. In light of this, this article offers a versatile modular architecture that enables DDoS attack prevention and mitigation in SDN environments. The interlinked computational devices present in the small items over the communication channel, which allows those devices to transmit industrial data, is known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Since the conversation is conducted online, security and privacy breaches are possible. As a result, the authenticated key agreement (AKA) of communicating devices is crucial. However, every IOT device is limited in computational resources, so it might be difficult to add robust privacy and security features. AKA research is now focused on forward secrecy (FS) feasibility that provides control over future keys when a secret key is compromised. IoT devices with limited resources cannot process public key cryptosystems because of intensive calculations. The primary goal of AKA with FS for IIoT is to provide a lightweight security framework. Instead of using a public key security framework, it is using multiple hash values. The security strength of the suggested framework is built on challenge-response mechanisms, one-way hash functions, and symmetric key encryption. The inclusion of this suggested architecture demonstrates that it provides a protection against a variety of attacks, secret key negotiation, anonymity, and unlinkability. The proposed approach is analyzed to assess the performance of the security framework and demonstrates that it is a lightweight mechanism for IIoT.
