The key goal of this workshop is to foster active interactions among diverse researchers and practitioners, and generate added momentum towards research in finding viable solutions to the security challenges faced by two emerging networking paradigms, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) .
We solicit unpublished research papers, both regular (8 pages max) and short position (4 pages max) papers, that address the latest practices, experiences, and lessons learned on SDN and NFV security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Security, reliability and privacy through SDN and NFV in 5G networks
Management and orchestration of NFV and SDN elements for security
Secure design of NFV and SDN solutions, security enablers
Security threats and vulnerabilities introduced by NFV and SDN technologies
Threat detection and mitigation through SDN and NFV
Security policy specification and management in SDN and NFV systems
Security related monitoring and analytics in SDN and NFV solutions
5G security architecture, trust and confidence
Authentication, authorization and Accounting in SDN
Secure SDN with Blockchain
Security of applying SDN to wireless and mobile network
Security of applying NFV and SDN to IoT
Security of applying NFV and SDN to cloud computing
Security of SDN API
Risk and compliance issues in SDN
Securing SDN infrastructure
Security architecture for SDN
Security standard of SDN
Security of SDN data plane
Security of SDN control plane
Security of SDN application plane
Security of Routing in SDN
Security of network slicing
Security as a service for SDN
