A Solution Supporting Secure Transmission of Big Data

Abstract

Traditional Internet protocol networks cannot provide the service of selecting a secure path to transmit various types of data with specific security constraints. First, to solve the “secure path transmission” problem, this paper first proposes a search-transmit model for secure network path transmission, i.e., to find a multi-attribute optimized path that meets the specific security requirements in the search phase, and then transmit the packets along the optimized path in the transmission phase. Second, we propose a solution to the search-transmit model. The idea of the solution is to use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to search for a secure path that meets the multi-attribute requirements and then set the source route on the router to control the packet transmission. Finally, a prototype system based on network function virtualization is developed to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the proposed solution. Experimental results show that the proposed solution outperforms existing algorithms in terms of performance.
