Abstract:
Network security has become an essential business requirement over the past few years. As this demand will increase even more in the future, researchers agree that security must be a key element for any novel Next Generation Internet architecture. Contrary to today's add-on approach to security, the mechanisms must be anchored in the overall architecture and should be a major concern already during the design phase. In this article we present an approach based on the private/public-key principle for almost any locator/identifier-split architecture. We suggest to extend the mapping system to also serve as public-key infrastructure and recommend to use smart cards for the client side key management.
