“…Among the mobility management protocols proposed for ICN [5,6,18,21,23,24,30,34], Kite [34] is the only one that takes into account security in its design and protects the network against prefix hijacking. Specifically, authors propose to sign traced interests (which corresponds to our Interest Updates) using the producer's private key, in order to handle mobility in a secure fashion.…”

“…[33] for a survey). Among them, tracing-based protocols [5,17,21,30,34] exploit the ICN stateful forwarding plane to minimize the communication delay due to mobility, packet losses and signaling overhead. In order to preserve producer's reachability, tracing-based protocols entitle the producer to update the network forwarding plane after every mobility event.…”

One of the fundamental requirements of the next generation 5G networks is to support seamless mobility over an heterogeneous access network by design. The shift from host-based to contentbased location-independent communication makes InformationCentric Networking (ICN) an appealing technology to provide not only mobility, but also security and storage as native properties of the network architecture.Previous work in ICN literature focused on name-based mobility management solutions and particularly on the challenges of producer mobility, which involves an interaction between forwarding and control plane.In this paper, we consider the security implications of producer mobility in ICN and we highlight the importance of securing producer to network interactions. We focus on the problem of prefix hijacking: a class of attacks that can be exploited to threaten both the security of the ICN networks and the privacy of its users. To prevent this class of attacks, we propose a fully distributed and very low-overhead protocol for name prefix attestation based on hash-chaining. First results show order of magnitudes improvement in verification latency with respect to signature verification, the leading alternative approach to thwart prefix hijacking attacks.

“…b) Resolution-based (RB) solutions rely on dedicated RV nodes (similar to DNS) which map content names into routable location identifiers. To maintain this mapping updated, the producer signals every movement to the RV node [13], [17], [24], [18], [2], [19]. Once the resolution is performed, packets can be correctly routed from the consumer along the shortest path, with unitary path stretch (defined as the ratio between the realized path length over the shortest path one).…”

“…Requiring explicit resolution, together with a strict separation of names and locators, RB solutions involve a scalable CCN/NDN routing infrastructure able to leverage forwarding hints [13], [17]; however, scalability is achieved at the cost of a large hand-off delay as evaluated e.g. in [18], [9] due to RV update and name resolution. To summarize, RB solutions show good scalability properties and low stretch in terms of consumer to producer routing path, but result to be unsuitable for frequent mobility and for reactive rerouting of latency-sensitive traffic, which are key objective of MAP-Me.…”

Abstract-Mobility has become a basic premise of network communications, thereby requiring a native integration into 5G networks. Despite numerous efforts to propose and standardize effective mobility-management models for IP, the result is a complex, poorly flexible set of mechanisms.The natural support for mobility offered by ICN (Information Centric Networking) makes it a good candidate to define a radically new solution relieving limitations of the traditional approaches. If consumer mobility is supported in ICN by design, in virtue of its connectionless pull-based communication model, producer mobility is still an open challenge.In this work, we look at two prominent ICN architectures, CCN (Content Centric Networking) and NDN (Named Data Networking) and we propose MAP-Me, an anchor-less solution to manage micro-mobility of content producers via a namebased CCN/NDN data plane, with support for latency-sensitive streaming applications. We analyze MAP-Me performance and provide guarantees of correctness, stability, and bounded stretch, which we verify on real ISP topologies. Finally, we set up a comprehensive simulation environment in NDNSim 2.1 for MAPMe evaluation and comparison against the existing classes of solutions, including a realistic trace-driven car-mobility pattern under a 802.11n radio access. The results are encouraging and highlight the superiority of MAP-Me in terms of user performance and network cost metrics. All the code is available as open-source.
