ABSTRACT
In this paper we discuss how security of Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs) could be improved by leveraging the concept of Software Defined Networking (SDN). In particular, we consider a set of realistic network deployment scenarios and security threats. We propose possible approaches towards security countermeasures that employ the SDN paradigm, and that could significantly mitigate the impact of attacks. Furthermore, we discuss those approaches with respect to deployment issues such as routing configuration, nodes trajectory optimization, and management of the node buffers. We believe that the proposed approaches could pave the way to further research in the design of UANs that are more resilient to both attacks and failures.
