Location Identity Based Content Security Scheme for Content Centric Networking
Fawad Ali Khan, Sarmad Ullah Khan, Muhammad Roman, Usman Abbasi · 2014
Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a newly proposed internet architecture based on content abstraction rather than host abstraction. Since people are concerned with content these days rather than typical host to host communication; hence locations from which they get the required content does not matter. The content needs to be secured so content requesting node has to make sure while receiving content from content publisher that whether the publisher and its content is authentic or not. In CCN, the content is taken into consideration rather than the route over which content travels. To validate the authenticity of content on each node, an effective security scheme should be developed. In this paper we propose a location identity based content security scheme for CCN. We evaluated the performance of proposed scheme using ccnSim simulator and its security validation using AVISPA tool.
