A lightweight mechanism for detection of cache pollution attacks in Named Data Networking

Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is an emerging paradigm being considered as a possible replacement for the current IP-based host-centric Internet infrastructure. In CCN, named content – rather than addressable hosts – becomes a first-class entity. Content is therefore decoupled from its location. This allows, among other things, the implementation of ubiquitous caching. Named-Data Networking (NDN) is a prominent example of CCN. In NDN, all...
