Title: Securing Information-Centric Networking without negating Middleboxes,
Abstract: Information-Centric Networking is a promising networking paradigm that
overcomes many of the limitations of current networking architectures. Various
research efforts investigate solutions for securing ICN. Nevertheless, most of
these solutions relax security requirements in favor of network performance. In
particular, they weaken end-user privacy and the architecture's tolerance to
security breaches in order to support middleboxes that offer services such as
caching and content replication. In this paper, we adapt TLS, a widely used
security standard, to an ICN context. We design solutions that allow session
reuse and migration among multiple stakeholders and we propose an extension
that allows authorized middleboxes to lawfully and transparently intercept
secured communications.
