Trust management in tactical coalition software defined networks

This paper reports from ongoing efforts related to trust management in tactical Software Defined Networks (SDN) when used with mobile nodes in a coalition operation. We analyze the problem space and suggests a set of security and contructional requirements, as well as an analysis on how existing technology may contribute to a solution. The proposed architecture serves as a guide for current and future experimentation on trust management and protection in SDN. The paper also reports from experimental investigations into the utility of these technology elements for the present purpose.
