The present document gives a survey of the security features in the open source management software relevant to NFV, in particular OpenStackTM as the first case study. It addresses the OpenStack modules that provide security services (such as authentication, authorization, confidentiality protection, integrity protection, and logging) together with the full graphs of their respective dependencies down to the ones that implement cryptographic protocols and algorithms. It also identifies a set of recommendations on the use of and enhancements to OpenStack as pertinent to NFV.
