NDN Project Monthly Newsletter for December 2014

The NDN project team compiles and publishes this newsletter monthly to inform the community about recent activities, technical news, meetings, publications, presentations, code releases, and upcoming events. You can find these newsletters posted on the Named Data Networking Project blog.

  1. The NDN Community Workshop report for NDNcomm 2014 will be available in January.
  2. This month we welcome Intel Corporation to the NDN NP Consortium. Eve Schooler whom we have enjoyed at several of our NDN meetings will act as point of contact for Intel.
  3. We plan to hold the next NDN Project Technical Retreat on 5-6 February 2015 at the University of California, San Diego. This retreat will host deep dive technical discussions with a focus on security solution development for specific environments: http://www.caida.org/workshops/ndn/1502/ (Ask Lixia if you wonder whether you should attend. The next NDNcomm meeting will be of more general interest and be held September 2015.)

Technical News

  1. The NDN Testbed has grown to 22 Nodes and 50 links. We have nodes in China, Japan, South Korea, France, Switzerland, Spain and the US. The most recent addition was Anyang University in South Korea.

NDN Video FAQ – First posts

To complement the existing NDN FAQ, we have started the NDN Video FAQ with three initial postings.  The Video FAQ features on-camera answers to questions about NDN from faculty, students, staff, and industry colleagues.

NDN Project Monthly Newsletter for November 2014

The Named Data Networking (NDN) project team compiles and publishes this newletter monthly to inform the community about recent project activities, meetings, publications, code releases, and upcoming events. You can find these newsletters on the Named Data Networking Project website at http://named-data.net/category/newsletter/

1. Our recent annual report covers Named Data Net activities in 2013-14. The report summarizes highlights from our research spanning applications, routing, scalable forwarding, security and fundamental theory. It includes updates on forwarding daemon development and testbed deployment, and covers outreach activities such as education initiatives, our first NDN Community Workshop, the first ACM ICN conference, the NDN Consortium, and more. Please see http://named-data.net/project/annual-progress-summaries/2013-2014/ for the report in its entirety.

Manifest embedding

Manifests are proposed to be a special type of content in Named Data Networking that contains meta-information about other Data packets: a sequence of Data segments or completely independent information objects. While a great variety of useful meta-information exists, this document focuses on the case when manifest contains a list of Data packet names. For example, a manifest containing full names (prefix + digest of the packet) can be used by the consumer application for faster verification of data packets. Only the manifest object must be verified using the public key cryptography, whereas all other Data packets listed in the manifest can be verified by simple computation of the digest and comparison to the digest specified in already verified manifest. The purpose of this technical memo is to introduce the use of manifests for faster signing and verification of Data packets without requiring an additional round-trip delay for manifest fetching.
