Internet of things implications on ICN

Abstract

The number of connected devices over the Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to be over 25 billion by 2015. This is more than three devices for every human being on earth. The most common deployment of the IoT is expected to be based on Information-Centric Networking (ICN) where control and intelligent related information are hosted at a centralized location. Cleary performance and security implications must be considered very carefully when developing IOT architectural frameworks. This paper addresses the key ICN performance and security requirements of IP based IoT networks and presents a case study using smart services in IT infrastructure network.
