IPRES: in-device proxy re-encryption service for secure ICN

A key paradigm of Information Centric Networking (ICN) is that the content-based security, privacy and access control are deployed directly in the network layer. However, there is a gap between security in the network and application layers. This creates a vulnerable space for cyber attacks from inside a device. To address this problem, we discuss and present a guideline on ICN access control. Since a semi-trusted proxy has been seen as an advantageous solution for access control and efficiency in content sharing services, we introduce the proxy in a consumer's device and propose an in-device proxy re-encryption service (IPRES) architecture for efficiency in both access control management and resource usage.
