Abstract

Modern internet of things (IoT) applications can benefit from advanced communication paradigms, including multicast and anycast. Next-generation internet architectures, such as information-centric networking (ICN), promise to support these paradigms, but at the same time they introduce new security challenges. This paper presents a solution that extends an ICN-like architecture based on software-defined networking (SDN) that supports those communication paradigms. Using the proposed solution, the underlying architecture is enhanced with a novel security mechanism that allows content “advertisements” only from authorized endpoints. This mechanism prevents “content pollution”, which is a significant security threat in ICN architectures. The proposed solution is lightweight, and it enables identity sharing as well as secured and controlled identity delegation.
