  • Communication device for implementing trusted relationships in a software defined network
    Patent number: 10863558
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for establishing trust relationships between a software defined network (SDN) controller and a SDN communication device. In one embodiment, a SDN controller may comprise a communications interface configured to communicate with a plurality of SDN network devices. A commissioning subsystem configured to detect a new device associated with the SDN. In response to a new device, a user interface subsystem may be configured to receive a user approval to commission the new device. A trust subsystem configured to establish a first SDN controller trusted credential and to transmit a first device trusted credential based on the first SDN controller credential to the new device. Programming instructions to the new device authenticated using the first SDN controller trusted credential by a SDN programming subsystem.
