Abstract
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) security is enhanced using algebraic structures and elliptic curve cryptography for secure, scalable, multi-tenant communication. The model ensures robust key exchange, authentication, and traffic isolation while resisting cryptanalytic attacks like replay and MITM, improving efficiency and resilience over traditional SDN security frameworks.
