Abstract

The new network paradigm of Software Defined Networking (SDN) has been widely adopted. Due to its inherent advantages, SDN has been widely used in various network fields such as data centers, WAN, enterprise, Optical Networks and energy Internet. Among them, SDN-based energy Internet systems are receiving more and more attention. But at the same time, some problems and challenges are gradually becoming more prominent. The SDN-based energy Internet is a distributed architecture for renewable energy, so the traditional centralized electric energy trading model will no longer apply. The blockchain has been rapidly developed and applied in various domains by virtue of its decentralization, coordinated autonomy, and non-tamperability. We propose an SDN-based energy Internet distributed energy trading scheme supported by blockchain technology. The proposed scheme achieves a reasonable match of the transaction objects under the premise of protecting privacy. Finally, we conducted a comprehensive, systematic security and applicability analysis of the proposed solution, further confirming that the system meets our design goals.
