Security and Privacy Analysis of National Science Foundation Future Internet Architectures

摘要: The Internet protocol (IP) is the lifeblood of modern Internet. Its simplicity and universality have fueled unprecedented lasting global success current Nonetheless, some limitations IP been emerging in recent years. Furthermore, starting mid-1990s, advent mobility, wirelessness, Web substantially shifted usage communication paradigms. This accentuated long-term concerns about architecture prompted interest alternative designs. U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has one key supporters efforts to design a set candidate next-generation architectures. As prominent requirement, NSF emphasized “security privacy by design” order avoid long unhappy history incremental patching retrofitting that characterizes architecture. To this end, as result competitive process, four research projects were funded 2010: nebula, named-data networking, MobilityFirst, expressive paper provides comprehensive neutral analysis salient security features (and issues) these NSF-funded future Prior surveys on architectures provide limited, or even no, comparison features. In addition, also compares designs with IP-based discusses similarities, differences, possible improvements.
