Abstract

Named-Data Networking (NDN) is a novel network that secures network communication by fetching semantically named and secured data. All data packets in NDN are signed by producers and verified by data consumers. Therefore, it is vital to have producers' certificates available all the time. In this paper, we describe the design of CLedger, a secure distributed certificate ledger, to ensure certificate availability in NDN. CLedger logs certificate records in an immutable Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure and replicates the DAG among a set of distributed loggers. We implemented CLedger using NDN's pub/sub API, and evaluated our design through an emulated deployment setting. Our initial evaluation results show that CLedger is effective, efficient, and resilient to failures. © 2023 IEEE.
