A Survey on the Security Issues of Software Defined Networking Tool in Cloud Computing

Abstract

The Advent of the digital age has led to a rise in different types of data with every passing day. In fact, it is expected that half of the total data used around the world will be on the cloud nowadays. This complex data needs to be stored, processed and analyzed for information gaining that can be used for several organizations. Cloud computing provides an appropriate platform for Software Defined Networking (SDN) in communicating and computing requirements of the latter. It makes cloud-based networking a viable research field in the current scenario. However, several issues addressed and risk needs to be mitigated in the L2 cloud server. Virtual networks and cloud federation being considered in the network virtualization over L3 cloud router. This research work explores the existing research challenges and discusses open issues for the security in cloud computing and its uses in the relevant field by means of a comparative analysis of L2 server L3 router based on SDN tools. Also, an analysis of such issues are discussed and summarized. Finally, the best tool identified for the use cloud security.
