Software-Defined Networks (SDN) advocate the segregation of network control logic, forwarding functions and management applications into different planes to achieve network programmability and automated and dynamic flow control in next-generation networks. It promotes the deployment of novel and augmented network-management functions in order to have flexible, robust, scalable, and cost-effective network deployments. All of these features introduce new research challenges and require secure communication protocols among segregated network planes. This manuscript focuses on the security issue of the southbound interface that operates between the SDN control and the data plane. We have highlighted the security threats that are associated with an unprotected southbound interface and those issues that are related to the existing TLS-based security solution. A lightweight blockchain-based decentralized security solution is proposed for the southbound interface to secure the resources of logically centralized SDN controllers and distributed forwarding devices from opponents. The proposed mechanism can operate in multi-domain SDN deployment and can be used with a wide range of network controllers and data plane devices. In addition to this, the proposed security solution has been analyzed in terms of its security features, communication, and re-authentication overhead.
