Abstract
Information centric-networks propose a new architecture for the Internet where IP addresses are replaced by names that represent the information or service that users request. The Named Data Networking (NDN) project is seeking to implement and experiment one type of these networks. A fundamental principle of NDN is that all the information needs to travel through the network using a secure hierarchical infrastructure. This article describes this security hierarchy and, using experiments, shows its implementation in two test networks.
