abstract = {Named-Data Networking (NDN) is a novel network that secures network communication by fetching semantically named and secured data. All data packets in NDN are signed by producers and verified by data consumers. Therefore, it is vital to have producers' certificates available all the time. In this paper, we describe the design of CLedger, a secure distributed certificate ledger, to ensure certificate availability in NDN. CLedger logs certificate records in an immutable Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure and replicates the DAG among a set of distributed loggers. We implemented CLedger using NDN's pub/sub API, and evaluated our design through an emulated deployment setting. Our initial evaluation results show that CLedger is effective, efficient, and resilient to failures.},

abstract = {The decade-long experiences from developing applications over Named Data Networking (NDN) have taught us the importance of well-designed libraries that offer support to application developers to support data security. NDN trust schema provides a critical component in the NDN security support, however its implementation and support only started receiving significant attention in recent years. This paper first provides a summary of the existing API support for trust schema, then takes a step forward by developing a new trust schema API, named Envelope. Envelope addresses the application requirements by offering comprehensive trust schema functionalities, an easy-to-write schema language, and an extensible design. To demonstrate the usefulness of Envelope, we develop a blog application which uses Envelope to secure its data. Our results show that Envelope provides effective trust schema support for applications with acceptable overhead.},

abstract = {Exploratory efforts in mobile health (mHealth) data collection and sharing have achieved promising results. However, fine-grained contextual access control and real-time data sharing are two of the remaining challenges in enabling temporally-precise mHealth intervention. We have developed an NDN-based system called mGuard to address these challenges. mGuard provides a pub-sub API to let users subscribe to real-time mHealth data streams, and uses name-based access control policies and key-policy attribute-based encryption to grant fine-grained data access to authorized users based on contextual information. We evaluate mGuard's performance using sample data from the MD2K project.},
