Abstract :
Information-centric networks must ensure the authenticity and integrity of named data. ICN designs such as Content-Centric Networking apply a digital signature to a collection of packets for this purpose. This paper shifts the mode of ICN authentication: Self-verifying names ensure data authenticity for read-only named data; signatures or other means ensure name authenticity. The paper considers how self-verifying names might be used in CCN.
