Abstract

SDN and NFV are modern techniques to implement networking infrastructures and can be used also to implement other advanced functionalities, such as the protection architecture designed by the SECURED project. This paper discusses a couple of techniques – trustworthy network infrastructure monitoring and remote attestation of virtual machines – useful towards a trusted and secure usage of SDN and NFV.
