“…This approach is not sufficient since the name of the content can be easily identified. To improve upon access control mechanisms in CCN (securing the content and its name) from unauthorized users, several mechanisms have been proposed, such as attribute encryption access, [33][34][35] proxy re-encryptions, and broadcast encryption access control schemes [36,37].…”

In line with the proposed 5th Generation network, content centric network/named data networking (CCN/NDN) has been offered as one of the promising paradigms to cope with the communication needs of future realistic network communications. CCN/NDN allows network communication based on content names and also allows users to obtain information from any of the nearest intermediary caches on the network. Due to that, the ability of cached content to protect itself is essential since contents can be cached on any node everywhere, and publishers may not have total control over their own published data. The attribute based encryption (ABE) scheme is a preferable approach, identified to enable cached contents to be self-secured since it has a special property of encryption with policies. However, most of the proposed ABE schemes for CCN/NDN suffer from some loopholes. They are not flexible in the expression of access policy, they are inefficient, they are based on bilinear maps with pairings, and they are vulnerable to quantum cryptography algorithms. Hence, we propose the ciphertext policy attribute based encryption access control (CP-ABE AC) scheme from a lightweight ideal lattice based on ring learning with error (R-LWE) problem, and demonstrated its use in practical applications. The proposed scheme is proved to be secure and efficient under the decision ring LWE problem in the selective set model. To achieve an efficient scheme, we used an efficient trapdoor technique and the access tree representation of access structure describing the access policies was modified into a new structure, based on a reduced ordered binary decision diagram (reduce-OBDD). This access structure can support Boolean operations such as AND, NOT, OR, and threshold gates. The final result showed that the proposed scheme was secure and efficient for applications, thereby supporting CCN/NDN as a promising paradigm.

“…However, the cryptographic scheme should be carefully chosen, as some of them may hinder the caching (like traditional symmetric key cryptographic schemes, in which a content encrypted to a given user may not be useful to any other user [13]). Different cryptographic approaches have been explored in access control solutions for ICN, such as attribute-based encryption [3], [5], [14] and broadcast encryption [4]. The idea of such solutions is to create groups of users to share keys for decrypting content, consequently optimizing caching over the network.…”

The Information-centric Network (ICN) paradigm is an important initiative toward an Internet architecture more suitable for content distribution. The change it imposes by naming, routing, and forwarding content directly on the network layer empowers the architecture with several interesting characteristics, such as in-network caching. As contents are meaningful for different users, they can be opportunistically cached and easily accessed by them, which improves content delivery and user experience. However, the fact that users can retrieve content through caches without interacting with the content provider raises security concerns regarding unauthorized access and the enforcement of access control policies. In this context, we propose an access control solution for ICN by adapting and optimizing a proxy re-encryption scheme, reducing up to 33% the processing time. The proposed solution is perfectly aligned with ICN demands, simultaneously ensuring content protection against unauthorized access of contents retrieved from unrestricted in-network caches as well as access control policies enforcement for legitimate users.

“…Staying in the multimedia domain, Papanis et al are focusing on the protection of video streams circulated in an information‐centric network employing an Attribute‐Based Encryption scheme. The paper provides a unified architecture covering the full DRM life cycle, integrated with Attribute‐Based Encryption, so as to cover the requirements of the latter in a DRM ecosystem.…”

Information‐centric networking (ICN) is an emerging networking paradigm, which is considered as a possible solution for the next generation Internet. Several research projects have been funded by the state and the industry towards the specification and implementation of ICN solutions, whereas Internet Research Task Force has established a research group for this reason, the Information‐Centric Networking Research Group. However, the use of ICN in action will be decided on the basis of its performance in several disciplines that, eventually, concern the users expectations from their applications over the future Internet. Currently, statistics suggest that, in the near future, the Internet bandwidth will be mainly consumed by multimedia and peer‐to‐peer applications. Furthermore, social networking applications become more and more popular both to end‐users and businesses. This special issue includes papers illustrating how information‐centric networks can effectively address practical issues rising in ICN deployments considering multimedia applications and social networking technologies.
