  摘 要  

Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) has transformed network functions (aka middleboxes) from dedicated and tightly coupled hardware/software devices to composable software running on commodity cloud instances. Accordingly, cloud data centres become one of the major vendors for network maintenance and data processing. This emerging service offers a more economical and flexible solution for enterprises to build and maintain their network systems. The security and privacy issues, however, may thwart the enterprises' willingness to adopt this innovation since the middlebox may contain critical information regarding the network or its users. In this talk, I will introduce our efforts in building secure middleboxes to protect critical network infrastructure information and sensitive data in networks, respectively. I will describe how we integrate different secure techniques systematically to achieve our security goal while preserving a practical runtime performance. Last, I will discuss some open research questions in this area.
