IoT Security Based on Content-Centric Networking Architecture

Abstract

The internet of things (IoT) is a concept that is revolutionizing our daily lives along with different areas of industry. All existing objects will be connected to the internet. All the possibilities offered by IoT are very promising. However, setting up these architectures poses various problems. The exponential increase in devices is a challenge to the current internet architecture and represents a major security weakness of the internet of things. Indeed, securing these devices poses a significant security challenge. Thus, the emergence of the internet of things requires the design and deployment of new solutions. In this chapter, the authors propose content-centric networking (CCN) as a potential alternative networking solution for the IoT. The authors show that the implementation of CCN architecture in IoT can address several IoT requirements including security challenges.
