Abstract
Currently, software-defined networks (SDN) are displacing traditional networks, and this carries a lot of advantages and disadvantages, one of which is security. For this reason, this article presents a security analysis on wide area SDN network controllers. Furthermore, we propose the use of the HUM algorithm, a blockchain-based algorithm, as a possible solution to increase the robustness of security in the flow of packets between edge devices. This algorithm works by a group of controller nodes that are aware of all changes made to the data flow. The simulation of a topology is presented, and finally, an application case is proposed for the use of the algorithm within an SD-WAN network in a financial institution.
