Description
Deniz Dudukcu and co-authors survey what happens when blockchains guard software-defined networks. Software-defined networking centralizes control, which is handy but paints a target on the controller. Their 2026 unified survey organizes a scattered literature on blockchain-backed defenses.
Six territories structure the tour: industry uses, security mechanisms, defense plans, attack-specific shields, artificial intelligence, and performance. Prototypes blunted denial-of-service floods, man-in-the-middle tricks, and spoofing across internet-of-things, vehicle, and smart-grid settings. Consensus delays and scaling limits still bite hard in big deployments. The authors close on missing standards that keep these designs out of production.
