Rethinking Caching Security of Information-Centric Networking: A System Recovery Perspective

ICN names data rather than hosts and then directly relays packets according to data names. This fundamental shift in naming from host-dependent to host-independent enables ICN to cache data for future service in its network. Therefore, ICN acts as not only a tunnel to transmit data but also a temporary cache of data, which inevitably confronts data attacks. In this article, for the first time, we investigate caching security from a system...
