Abstract

The increasing demands for flexibility, scalability, and security in cloud computing environments have led to the adoption of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) for centralized network control and Virtual Machine (VM) migration for resource optimization. However, secure VM migration remains a critical challenge, particularly with the risk of unauthorized access during migration processes. This paper introduces a Secure Cloud SDN Framework that integrates dynamic network control through SDN, seamless VM migration, and an advanced authentication algorithm to enhance the security and reliability of migration operations. The proposed authentication mechanism combines Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to validate all entities involved in migration, preventing unauthorized access and reinforcing data integrity. The framework was evaluated on key performance metrics, including migration time, latency, authentication time, and system throughput. Experimental results demonstrated a 35% reduction in migration latency and a 20% improvement in system throughput compared to conventional migration methods. Additionally, the authentication mechanism added minimal overhead, with an average authentication time of 150 ms, ensuring security without significantly impacting migration efficiency. These findings highlight the potential of the Secure Cloud SDN Framework to provide a robust, scalable solution for secure VM migration, improving cloud service continuity and safeguarding network resources against unauthorized access.
