Data-based access control in named data networking

Abstract

Named Data Networking (NDN) presents one of the first and most emergent Information Centric Networking (ICN) project. It offers an excellent substrate to solve today's Internet problems. To ensure security challenge, it adopts a data-centric model. The access control represents a fundamental security aspect. It prevents the data publication under any sensitive namespace and the access to any confidential content. In this paper, we use the generic and conceptual access control scheme called UCONABC to propose an optimum and secured data centric access control model. In our proposal, data is protected by encryption and lock password. Its access is managed by a centralized access list (ACL). © 2013 ICST.
