Security, Privacy, and Access Control in Information-Centric Networking: A Survey

摘要: Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a new networking paradigm, which replaces the widely used host-centric paradigm in communication networks (e.g., Internet, mobile ad hoc networks) with an information-centric prioritizes delivery of named content, oblivious contents origin. Content and client security are more intrinsic ICN versus current host centric where they have been instrumented as after thought. By design, inherently supports several privacy features, such provenance identity privacy, still not effectively available paradigm. However, given its nascency, has open concerns, some that existed old unique. In this article, we survey existing literature research sub-space ICN. More specifically, explore three broad areas: threats, risks, access control enforcement mechanisms. We present underlying principle works, discuss drawbacks proposed approaches, potential future directions. area security, review attack scenarios, denial service, cache pollution, content poisoning. user anonymity, name signature privacy. ICN's feature ubiquitous caching introduces major challenge for requires special attention. area, mechanisms including encryption-based, attribute-based, session-based, proxy re-encryption-based schemes. We conclude lessons learned scope work.
