Intent-Based In-flight Service Encryption in Multi-Layer Transport Networks

TL;DR

This paper presents a system that enables multi-layer encrypted service provisioning across IP, Ethernet, and optical networks using a novel intent interface and SDN orchestrator, enhancing security and flexibility.

Contribution

It introduces a new intent-based interface combined with an SDN orchestrator for multi-layer encrypted service provisioning in transport networks.

Findings

Successful demonstration of multi-layer encrypted services

Integration of intent interface with SDN orchestrator

Abstract

We demonstrate multi-layer encrypted service provisioning via the ACINO orchestrator. ACINO combines a novel intent interface with an ONOS-based SDN orchestrator to facilitate encrypted services at IP, Ethernet and optical network layers.
