Abstract

There have been several recent proposals for content-oriented networkarchitectures whose underlying mechanisms are surprisinglysimilar in spirit, but which differ in many details. In this paperwe step back from the mechanistic details and focus only on thearea where the these approaches have a fundamental difference:naming. In particular, some designs adopt a hierarchical, human readablenames, whereas others use self-certifying names. Whendiscussing a network architecture, three of the most importantrequirements are security, scalability, and flexibility. In this paperwe examine the two different naming approaches in terms of thesethree basic goals.
