Abstract: A Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based “upstream” approach is a controller-based solution that provides secure key distribution and management for multi-site data centers. The approach uses an SDN Multi-Site Controller (MSC) that acts as an intermediary between SDN controllers at sites in a multi-site data center and manages the distribution of keys to sites. The approach is not dependent upon any particular routing protocol, such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and is well suited for multicast stream encryption by allowing the same key to be used for all replicated packets sent to downstream sites from an upstream source site. The approach distributes keys in a secure manner, ensures that data transferred between sites is done in a secure manner, and supports re-keying with error handling.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing tenant specific encryption is described herein. According to an embodiment, a transmission site receives a data packet for transmission or forwarding. The transmission site determines, based on information in a header of the data packet, that the data packet is to be encrypted before transmission or forwarding. Using the information in the header, the transmission site identifies an encryption key for the data packet. The transmission site generates, for the data packet, an additional header and populates the additional header with a destination port number based on a destination port header value of the data packet. The transmission site overwrites the destination port header value of the packet with data indicating that the data packet is encrypted and then encrypts an encapsulated packet within the data packet using the encryption key prior to transmitting or forwarding the data packet. Upon receipt, the destination port header is used by the receiving site to determine that the packet is encrypted.

Abstract: Methods to secure against IP address thefts by rogue devices in a virtualized datacenter are provided. Rogue devices are detected and distinguished from a migration of an endpoint in a virtualized datacenter. A first hop network element in a one or more network fabrics intercepts a request that includes an identity of an endpoint and performs a local lookup for the endpoint entity identifier. Based on the lookup not finding the endpoint entity identifier, the first hop network element broadcasts a message such as a remote media access address (MAC) query to other network elements in the one or more network fabrics. Based on the received response, which may include an IP address associated with the MAC address, the first hop network element performs a theft validation process to determine whether the request originated from a migrated endpoint or a rogue device.
