Digital signatures are a fundamental building block for ensuring integrity and authenticity of contents delivered by the Named Data Networking (NDN) systems. However, current digital signature schemes adopted by NDN open source libraries have a high computational and communication overhead making them unsuitable for high throughput applications like video streaming and virtual reality gaming. In this poster, we propose a real-time digital signature mechanism for NDN based on the offline-online signature framework known as Structure-free and Compact Real-time Authentication scheme (SCRA). Our signature mechanism significantly reduces the signing and verification costs and provides different variants to optimize for the specific requirements of applications (i.e. signing overhead, verification overhead or communication cost). Our experiments results show that SCRA is a suitable framework for latency-sensitive NDN applications.

An Information Centric Framework for Weather Sensing Data
Weather sensing and forecasting has become increasingly accurate in the last decade thanks to high-resolution radars, efficient computational algorithms, and high-performance computing facilities. Through a distributed and federated network of radars, scientists can make high-resolution observations of the weather conditions on a scale that benefits public safety, commerce, transportation, and other fields. While weather radars are critical infrastructure, they are often located in remote areas with poor network connectivity. Data retrieved from these radars are often delayed or lost, or even lack proper synchronization, resulting in sub-optimal weather prediction. This work applies Named Data Networking (NDN) to a federation of weather sensing radars for efficient content addressing and retrieval. We identify weather data based on a hierarchical naming scheme that allows us to explicitly access desired files. We demonstrate that compared to the window-based mechanism in TCP/IP, an NDN based mechanism improves data quality, reduces uncertainty, and enhances weather prediction.

With live video streaming becoming accessible in various applications on all client platforms, it is imperative to create a seamless and efficient distribution system that is flexible enough to choose from multiple Internet architectures best suited for video streaming (live, on-demand, AR). In this paper, we highlight the benefits of such a hybrid system for live video streaming as well as present a detailed analysis with the goal to provide a high quality of experience (QoE) for the viewer. For our hybrid architecture, video streaming is supported simultaneously over TCP/IP and Named Data Networking (NDN)-based architecture via operating system and networking virtualization techniques to design a flexible system that utilizes the benefits of these varying Internet architectures. Also, to relieve users from the burden of installing a new protocol stack (in the case of NDN) on their devices, we developed a lightweight solution in the form of a container that includes the network stack as well as the streaming application. At the client, the required Internet architecture (TCP/IP versus NDN) can be selected in a transparent and adaptive manner. Based on a prototype, we have designed and implemented maintaining efficient use of network resources, we demonstrate that in the case of live streaming, NDN achieves better QoE per client than IP and can also utilize higher than allocated bandwidth through in-network caching. Even without caching, as opposed to IP-only, our hybrid setup achieves better average bitrate and better perceived visual quality (computed via VMAF metric) over live video streaming services. Furthermore, we present detailed analysis on ways adaptive video streaming with NDN can be further improved with respect to QoE.more » « less

Archived data from the US network of weather radars hold detailed information about bird migration over the last 25 years, including very high-resolution partial measurements of velocity. Historically, most of this spatial resolution is discarded and velocities are summarized at a very small number of locations due to modeling and algorithmic limitations. This paper presents a Gaussian process (GP) model to reconstruct high-resolution full velocity fields across the entire US. The GP faithfully models all aspects of the problem in a single joint framework, including spatially random velocities, partial velocity measurements, station-specific geometries, measurement noise, and an ambiguity known as aliasing. We develop fast inference algorithms based on the FFT; to do so, we employ a creative use of Laplace's method to sidestep the fact that the kernel of the joint process is non-stationary.more » « less

Named Data Networking (NDN) secures network communications by requiring all data packets to be signed upon production. This requirement makes usable and efficient NDN certificate issuance and revocation essential for NDN operations. In this paper, we first investigate and clarify core concepts related to NDN certificate revocation, then proceed with the design of CertRevoke, an NDN certificate revocation framework. CertRevoke utilizes naming conventions and trust schema to ensure certificate owners and issuers legitimately produce in-network cacheable records for revoked certificates. We evaluate the security properties and performance of CertRevoke through case studies. Our results show that deploying CertRevoke in an operational NDN network is feasible.more » « less
