Abstract

The presence of Internet of Things (IoT) in our daily lives becomes a reality and its development has become truly remarkable, indeed the massive use of connected devices has disclosed the importance of the security issues related to the processing of data collected and/or provided by these devices. In this sense, the dynamic configuration of network becomes a necessity. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm, which allows the centralized management of network devices and it provides new mechanisms to solve some problems related to networking.

In this paper, we focus on the benefits provided by SDN paradigm to improve the security in the IoT domain.
