Presenter bio: PhD candidate in the ECE Department at Rutgers University and a research
assistant at WINLAB under Prof. Dipankar Raychaudhuri. My research
interests include future Internet architectures and protocols, network
services with particular focus on Virtual Networks and Cloud services
and applications for mobile clients. Most of my research ends up in
experimental prototyping of the designed components and deployment on
research testbeds.
Abstract: Network virtualization is one classical use-case for Software Defined
Networks (SDN). By programmatically instantiating virtual networks,
traffic from one or more devices can be separated or connectivity can be
established as needed. S-BYOD, which is presented in this
demonstration, applies the SDN concept to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
scenarios and offers personalized virtual networks that are set up and
extended on demand. This is done once the user authenticates, activates
access to additional applications, or as soon as applications scale out
and involve more servers. The described proof-of-concept implementation
explores, to what degree an agent-less BYOD solution, based only on SDN,
can lower the attack surface by explicit user opt-ins for particular
services. Further, an assessment of the number of required rules within
the flow tables of switches completes this work.
