Secure virtual personal cloud service based on CCN/VPC

Abstract

Content-centric networking based virtual private community (CCN/VPC) has been proposed for easy and secure content sharing between members in extended home domains. In this paper, we further introduce a virtual personal cloud (vpCloud) service based on CCN/VPC, and propose more scalable and intuitive membership management including enrollment process and member list-based association. The proposed enrollment and association mechanism are optimally designed for distributed consumer environment, whereof the service provider support is not necessary. We also propose a revocation process which is included in the membership management.
