    Abstract

    Software-defined wireless networking (SDWN) offers new methods for managing wireless and heterogeneous systems, but equally poses new security challenges. Here, we investigate how the emerging paradigm of trust may be able to address security challenges in the SDWN data plane through trust management and trust-based routing. This paper presents a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) trust management system for securely managing heterogeneous software-defined networks, with a supporting threat model and trust framework. Evaluation demonstrates that the essential capabilities of a trust-based routing model are functional in our PoC, and also points to opportunities for future research.
