Abstract
The present Dynamic Software Defined Networking (DSDN) systems and methods provide secure and isolated subnetworks within a larger network wherein each subnetwork may be formed with varied policies and communication restrictions based on at least device type, device grouping, and risk level. The present DSDN system and method may also be applied to form a network, with or without subnetworks, of devices that are spatially separated, thereby reducing the attack surface of the DSDN formed network.
Claims1
A Dynamic Software Defined Networking (DSDN) method, comprising:
- determining a functionality of a plurality of wireless devices is within proximity of the DSDN;
- grouping one or more subsets of the plurality of wireless devices into subnetworks;
- and
- determining the level of risk associated with each subnetwork;
- applying communication restrictions to the each of the one or more subnetwork based on the determined functionality of the grouped subsets of the plurality of wireless devices and the determined level of risk associated with each subnetwork.
