Management technologies of cyberspace endogenous safety and security test site by Hongyi ZHU, Xiaoyuan LU, Yi LI

“…The cyber range has been widely recognized as an effective way to study the technologies of network attack/defense and the vulnerability of network architecture.The endogenous safety and security test site that receives high attention recently is a type of cyber range for cyber space endogenous safety and security technologies.Based on the new situation of cyberspace with 5G development, a test site management technology for virtual-real network settings was proposed, and a test site management architecture based on the endogenously secured software defined network controller was designed.A design of the endogenously secured network control system was also proposed, which used a middle layer forwarding agent to achieve data isolation and supported multiple heterogeneous open-source controllers.Finally, a test site scenario reconfiguration and resource orchestration method was proposed based on a test site networking scheme.…”
