Authenticated Lighting Control Using Named Data Networking

Authenticated Lighting Control Using Named Data Networking by Jeff Burke, Alex Horn, and Alessandro Marianantoni
NDN Technical Report NDN-0011, October, 2012.

This report discusses the design and implementation of authenticated lighting control, as an example of actuation in Building Automation Systems (BAS), using Named Data Networking (NDN). It describes the application motivation and outlines preliminary designs for device bootstrapping, assigning permissions to applications, and authenticated control. Additionally, it reviews our testbed implementation, deployment and initial testing. The purpose of this document is to provide a brief overview of work-in-progress. The security approaches described here are treated in more detail in an upcoming paper created in collaboration with the NDN security group at UC Irvine (Burke et al., 2012).
