Abstract Named Data Networking (NDN) is gaining a significant attention in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) due to its in-network content caching, name-based routing, and mobility-supporting characteristics. Nevertheless, existing NDN faces three significant challenges, including security, privacy, and routing. In particular, security attacks, such as Content Poisoning Attacks (CPA), can jeopardize legitimate vehicles with malicious content. For instance, attacker host vehicles can serve consumers with invalid information, which has dire consequences, including road accidents. In such a situation, trust in the content-providing vehicles brings a new challenge. On the other hand, ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized access… More >

Abstract Recent advancements in the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) have tremendously addressed road-related challenges. Specifically, Named Data Networking (NDN) in VANET has emerged as a vital technology due to its outstanding features. However, the NDN communication framework fails to address two important issues. The current NDN employs a pull-based content retrieval network, which is inefficient in disseminating crucial content in Vehicular Named Data Networking (VNDN). Additionally, VNDN is vulnerable to illusion attackers due to the administrative-less network of autonomous vehicles. Although various solutions have been proposed for detecting vehicles’ behavior, they inadequately addressed the challenges specific… More >

Abstract An Information-Centric Network (ICN) provides a promising paradigm for the upcoming internet architecture, which will struggle with steady growth in data and changes in access models. Various ICN architectures have been designed, including Named Data Networking (NDN), which is designed around content delivery instead of hosts. As data is the central part of the network. Therefore, NDN was developed to get rid of the dependency on IP addresses and provide content effectively. Mobility is one of the major research dimensions for this upcoming internet architecture. Some research has been carried out to solve the mobility… More >

Abstract Vehicular Social Networks (VSNs) is the bridge of social networks and Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). VSNs are promising as they allow the exchange of various types of contents in large-scale through Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication protocols. Vehicular Named Data Networking (VNDN) is an auspicious communication paradigm for the challenging VSN environment since it can optimize content dissemination by decoupling contents from their physical locations. However, content dissemination and caching represent crucial challenges in VSNs due to short link lifetime and intermittent connectivity caused by vehicles’ high mobility. Our aim with this paper is… More >

Abstract Nowadays, healthcare has become an important area for the Internet of Things (IoT) to automate healthcare facilities to share and use patient data anytime and anywhere with Internet services. At present, the host-based Internet paradigm is used for sharing and accessing healthcare-related data. However, due to the location-dependent nature, it suffers from latency, mobility, and security. For this purpose, Named Data Networking (NDN) has been recommended as the future Internet paradigm to cover the shortcomings of the traditional host-based Internet paradigm. Unfortunately, the novel breed lacks a secure framework for healthcare. This article constructs an More >

Abstract In order to effectively detect interest flooding attack (IFA) in Named Data Networking (NDN), this paper proposes a detection method of interest flooding attack based on chi-square test and similarity test. Firstly, it determines the detection window size based on the distribution of information name prefixes (that is information entropy) in the current network traffic. The attackers may append arbitrary random suffix to a certain prefix in the network traffic, and then send a large number of interest packets that cannot get the response. Targeted at this problem, the sensitivity of chi-square test is used… More >

Abstract Distribution feeder microgrid (DFM) built based on existing distributed feeder (DF), is a promising solution for modern microgrid. DFM contains a large number of heterogeneous devices that generate heavy network traffice and require a low data delivery latency. The information-centric networking (ICN) paradigm has shown a great potential to address the communication requirements of smart grid. However, the integration of advanced information and communication technologies with DFM make it vulnerable to cyber attacks. Adequate authentication of grid devices is essential for preventing unauthorized accesses to the grid network and defending against cyber attacks. In this… More >

Abstract Healthcare is a binding domain for the Internet of Things (IoT) to automate healthcare services for sharing and accumulation patient records at anytime from anywhere through the Internet. The current IP-based Internet architecture suffers from latency, mobility, location dependency, and security. The Named Data Networking (NDN) has been projected as a future internet architecture to cope with the limitations of IP-based Internet. However, the NDN infrastructure does not have a secure framework for IoT healthcare information. In this paper, we proposed a secure NDN framework for IoT-enabled Healthcare (IoTEH). In the proposed work, we adopt… More >

Abstract Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of the most excellent future Internet architectures and every router in NDN has the capacity of caching contents passing by. It greatly reduces network traffic and improves the speed of content distribution and retrieval. In order to make full use of the limited caching space in routers, it is an urgent challenge to make an efficient cache replacement policy. However, the existing cache replacement policies only consider very few factors that affect the cache performance. In this paper, we present a cache replacement policy based on multi-factors for NDN… More >
