73- **Signature**
74
Alexander Afanasyev4b896112014-06-23 21:47:15 -0700[diff] [blame]75 + New ``SignatureSha256WithEcdsa`` signature type for Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
Alexander Afanasyevf3e5e852014-06-13 22:44:02 -0700[diff] [blame]76 + ``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]77 + ``KeyLocator`` element is now defined to be optionally present in generic ``SignatureInfo`` element.
Alexander Afanasyev4b896112014-06-23 21:47:15 -0700[diff] [blame]78 ``SignatureSha256WithRsa`` and ``SignatureSha256WithEcdsa`` still require ``KeyLocator`` to be always present.

85- **General**
86
87 + XML-based ccnb packet encoding is replaced by TLV encoding
88
89- **Name**
90
91 + The name encoding is changed from binary XML to TLV format
92 + 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
93 + Deprecated zero-length name component
94
95- **Interest Packet**
96
97 + ``Nonce`` is changed from optional to required
98 + ``PublisherPublicKeyDigest`` is replaced by ``PublisherPublicKeyLocator``
99 + ``AnswerOriginKind`` is simplified from 4bits to a 1-bit ``MustBeFresh``
100 + ``FaceID`` has been removed
101 + ``InterestLifetime`` changes the unit to the number of milliseconds
102 + Removed Bloom Filter from Exclude
103 + Changed default semantics of staleness
104
105 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.
106 With Binary XML encoded Interests, the default behavior was to bring "fresh" data and return "stale" data only when ``AnswerOriginKind`` was set to 3.
107
108 Application developers must be aware of this change, reexamine the Interest expression code, and enable ``MustBeFresh`` selector when necessary.
109
110- **Data Packet**
111
112 + The structure of Data packet is changed:
113
114 * ``Name``, ``MetaInfo``, ``Content``, ``Signature{SignatureInfo, SignatureValue}``
115
116 + ``SignedInfo`` is renamed to ``MetaInfo`` and its content is changed
117 + ``PublisherPublicKeyDigest`` and ``ExtOpt`` are removed.
118 + ``Timestamp`` is removed
Alexander Afanasyeve9f48512018-01-15 23:44:50 -0500[diff] [blame]119 + ``KeyLocator`` is moved to be inside the ``Signature`` (``SignatureInfo``) element
Alexander Afanasyeva6fc7272014-06-13 11:58:06 -0700[diff] [blame]120 + Three content types, ENCR, GONE, and NACK are removed
121 + ``FreshnessSeconds`` is renamed to ``FreshnessPeriod`` and is expressed in units of milliseconds
122
123- **Signature**
124
125 + ``Signature`` is moved to the end of Data packet.
Alexander Afanasyeve9f48512018-01-15 23:44:50 -0500[diff] [blame]126 + ``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]127
128 The rationale for the move is to make Signature (sequence of ``SignatureInfo`` and ``SignatureValue`` TLVs) self-contained and self-sufficient.
129
130 + Signature type (or signing method information) is expressed as an assigned integer value (with no assumed default), rather than OID.
131 + Added support for hash-only "signature"
132 + 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
