Description
Summary:Although a software defined network (SDN) realizes the flexible configuration and centralized control of network resources, there are potential security risks and challenges. Network security situation awareness (NSSA) technology associates and integrates multi-source heterogeneous information to analyze the impact of the information on the whole network, and network security situation assessment can grasp the network security situation information in real time. However, the existing situation assessment methods have low assessment accuracy, and most of the studies focus on traditional networks, while there are few situation assessment studies in the SDN environment. In this paper, by summarizing the important index parameters of SDN, a network security situation assessment model based on the improved back propagation (BP) neural network (based on the cuckoo search algorithm) is proposed, and the step factor of the cuckoo search algorithm (CS) was improved to improve the search accuracy. The model maps the situation elements to the layers of the neural network, and optimizes the weights and thresholds of the BP neural network through the cuckoo search algorithm to obtain the global optimal solution; it finally realizes the purpose of situation assessment and the comprehensive rating of the SDN environment. In this paper, the evaluation model was verified on the network set up in Mininet. The experimental results show that the situation assessment curve of this model is closer to the real situation value, and the accuracy rate is 97.61%, with good situation assessment results.
