Controller Shield: Boron: Release Plan

Contents

Introduction

Boron Release is intended to harden the existing usecplugin and extend it to collect more security related information. Usecplugin Beryllium release collects security information related to OpenFlow plugin. In the current Boron release, usecplugin will collect information about security breach attempts via OpenDaylight's north bound interface (through AAA service) and east-west interface (through SDNi App). Moreover, Usecplugin will also check whether DDoS attack is occuring on any of its plugin ports (eg. OVSDB 6640 port, DLUX 8181 port etc.) and collect the relevant data from these ports. Also, the plugin will expose the database contents via Restconf interface for any North Bound App to add logic for programming flows to protect the controller.

Release Deliverables

  • Information on Failed login attempts to DLUX user interface

  • Information on Failed login attempt to SDNi App interface

  • Hardened and Improved Code for OpenFlow Plugin related attack (from Be release)
