79- **Signature**
80
Alexander Afanasyev4b896112014-06-23 21:47:15 -0700[diff] [blame]81 + New ``SignatureSha256WithEcdsa`` signature type for Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
Alexander Afanasyevf3e5e852014-06-13 22:44:02 -0700[diff] [blame]82 + ``KeyLocatorDigest`` renamed to ``KeyDigest``. The specification now explicitly allows KeyDigest to be a SHA256 of any type of the key.
Alexander Afanasyeve9f48512018-01-15 23:44:50 -0500[diff] [blame]83 + ``KeyLocator`` element is now defined to be optionally present in generic ``SignatureInfo`` element.
Alexander Afanasyev4b896112014-06-23 21:47:15 -0700[diff] [blame]84 ``SignatureSha256WithRsa`` and ``SignatureSha256WithEcdsa`` still require ``KeyLocator`` to be always present.

Alexander Afanasyev13f86d82018-01-31 12:50:34 -0500[diff] [blame]86Version 0.1
87-----------
Alexander Afanasyeva6fc7272014-06-13 11:58:06 -0700[diff] [blame]88
89- **General**
90
91 + XML-based ccnb packet encoding is replaced by TLV encoding
92
93- **Name**
94
95 + The name encoding is changed from binary XML to TLV format
96 + The discussions on naming conventions and the use of special markers inside NameComponents are removed from packet specification, and will be covered by a separate technical document
97 + Deprecated zero-length name component
98
99- **Interest Packet**
100
101 + ``Nonce`` is changed from optional to required
102 + ``PublisherPublicKeyDigest`` is replaced by ``PublisherPublicKeyLocator``
103 + ``AnswerOriginKind`` is simplified from 4bits to a 1-bit ``MustBeFresh``
104 + ``FaceID`` has been removed
105 + ``InterestLifetime`` changes the unit to the number of milliseconds
106 + Removed Bloom Filter from Exclude
107 + Changed default semantics of staleness
108
109 Specifically, NDN-TLV Interest without any selectors will bring any data that matches the name, and only when ``MustBeFresh`` selector is enabled it will try to honor freshness, specified in Data packets.
110 With Binary XML encoded Interests, the default behavior was to bring "fresh" data and return "stale" data only when ``AnswerOriginKind`` was set to 3.
111
112 Application developers must be aware of this change, reexamine the Interest expression code, and enable ``MustBeFresh`` selector when necessary.
113
114- **Data Packet**
115
116 + The structure of Data packet is changed:
117
118 * ``Name``, ``MetaInfo``, ``Content``, ``Signature{SignatureInfo, SignatureValue}``
119
120 + ``SignedInfo`` is renamed to ``MetaInfo`` and its content is changed
121 + ``PublisherPublicKeyDigest`` and ``ExtOpt`` are removed.
122 + ``Timestamp`` is removed
Alexander Afanasyeve9f48512018-01-15 23:44:50 -0500[diff] [blame]123 + ``KeyLocator`` is moved to be inside the ``Signature`` (``SignatureInfo``) element
Alexander Afanasyeva6fc7272014-06-13 11:58:06 -0700[diff] [blame]124 + Three content types, ENCR, GONE, and NACK are removed
125 + ``FreshnessSeconds`` is renamed to ``FreshnessPeriod`` and is expressed in units of milliseconds
126
127- **Signature**
128
129 + ``Signature`` is moved to the end of Data packet.
Alexander Afanasyeve9f48512018-01-15 23:44:50 -0500[diff] [blame]130 + ``KeyLocator`` is moved to be a part of the ``SignatureInfo`` element, if it is applicable for the specific signature type.
Alexander Afanasyeva6fc7272014-06-13 11:58:06 -0700[diff] [blame]131
132 The rationale for the move is to make Signature (sequence of ``SignatureInfo`` and ``SignatureValue`` TLVs) self-contained and self-sufficient.
133
134 + Signature type (or signing method information) is expressed as an assigned integer value (with no assumed default), rather than OID.
135 + Added support for hash-only "signature"
136 + The current specification does not define Merkle Hash Tree Aggregated Signatures, but it is expected that such (or similar) signatures will be defined in future version of this specification
