Title
TSLS: Time Sensitive, Lightweight and Secure Access Control for Information Centric Networking
Abstract
Information Centric Networking (ICN), a new paradigm of Internet infrastructure, aims to better accommodate users' rapid growing demand for content delivery and optimize bandwidth utilization. Although the in-network cache feature of ICN facilitates the dissemination of content to users, it also poses new challenges on access control for content and network resource. Moreover, it is common that the access privilege of content dynamically change over time. However, existing access control mechanisms in ICN cannot support the publication and distribution of such time-sensitive content. In this paper, we propose a time-sensitive, lightweight, and secure access control mechanism, called TSLS, to solve this problem. We introduce broadcast encryption combined with time tokens for content providers to protect content confidentiality, and only authorized users satisfying the time limitation have capability to decrypt and access the content. Besides, a fast lightweight challenge-response verification is implemented at the edge routers to block unauthorized request from injecting into the network. The responses of authorized users are forwarded to content providers for pre-distribute popular content at in-network caches in advance. Our security analysis shows that TSLS possesses the properties of data confidentiality, unforgeability, anonymity, and DoS/DDoS attacks resistance. Our simulation results indicate that our proposed TSLS is an efficient mechanism with low computation cost and network delay.
