Optimizing resource allocation for secure SDN-based virtual network migration
Résumé
Recent evolutions in cloud infrastructures allowed service providers to tailor new services for demanding customers. Providing these services confronts the infrastructure providers with costs and constraints considerations. In particular, security constraints are a major concern for today's businesses as the leak of personal information would tarnish their reputation. Recent works provide examples on how an attacker may leverage the infrastructure's weaknesses to steal sensitive information from the users. Specifically, an attacker can leverage maintenance processes inside the infrastructure to conduct an attack. In this paper, we consider the migration of a virtual network as the maintenance process. Then we determine the optimal monitoring resources allocation in this context with a Markov Decision Process. This model takes into account the impact of monitoring the infrastructure, the migration process and finally how the attacker may chose particular targets in the infrastructure. We provide a working prototype implemented in Python.
