SeaCat: an SDN End-to-End Application Containment ArchitecTure

Problem:Healthcare, emergency services, and other special apps often require specific network and security characteristics at a granular per-app level. (i.e. your kids’ compromised social account should not pose a risk to you accessing your online health records)

Solution:Combine Software Defined Network techniques and application containment to provide an end-to-end application containment. Treat mobile device as “semi-trusted” SDN domain.
