Abstract [en]

OpenFlow flow tables in Open vSwitch contain valuable information about installed flows, priorities, packet actions and routing policies. Their importance is emphasized when collocated tenants compete for the limited entries available to install flow rules. From a security point of view, OpenFlow flow tables are a valuable asset that requires both confidentiality and integrity guarantees. However, commodity software switch implementations - such as Open vSwitch - do not implement protection mechanisms capable to prevent attackers from either obtaining information about the installed flows or modifying the contents of flow tables. In this work, we adopt a radical approach to enabling OpenFlow flow table protection through decomposition. Based on a careful analysis of the architecture and implementation of Open vSwitch, we identify core assets requiring security guarantees, design an approach to isolating OpenFlow flow tables, and implement a prototype using Open vSwitch and Software Guard Extensions enclaves.
