     The ICN approach aims for reflecting these changes in usage of the Internet and is thus dragging content awareness into the network, for instance to let the network itself decide where to acquire requested data from and thereby utilize content caches to increase the data dissemination efficiency. All this is backed by the use of the publish/subscribe paradigm that is utilised to announce content availability and request its delivery. Since the ICN paradigm is entirely different from todays Internet, new challenges arise within the area of network security. NDN/CCNx, as the most popular ICN approach, claims to solve a couple of different security flaws which the actual Internet is suffering from. This raises the questions of which vulnerabilities still exist and if maybe new issues arise.

     Named Data Networking Networking (NDN) gives more importance to content instead of its location. On the other hand, V2X networks carry a wide variety of content such as events, traffic information and infotainment content. Therefore, NDN native capabilities in terms of caching and multicast can reduce traffic load in V2X networks and consequently decrease congestion risk. However, the communication in NDN is based on a request-response pattern while it is event based in V2X. Thus, this paper extends NDN with a Pub/Sub capability in order to provide an efficient data collection and dissemination in V2X networks. In this paper, we study the limitations of using NDN and the challenges of extending it with Pub/Sub and propose a new protocol that handles V2X characteristics. Simulation results of data dissemination shows that the number of Subscribe messages generated in vehicles present at most the one tenth of the total received Publish messages (TPub) while, in NDN, the number of Interests will be equal to the number of Data messages without considering message losses.

Named Data Networking (NDN), a future internet architecture, gives more importance to content instead of its location. It has some inner capabilities of caching and multicast that can reduce traffic load in V2X networks and consequently decrease congestion risk. The communication in NDN is based on a request-response pattern where a consumer requests a specific content using its associated name. In this paper, an NDN query mechanism is proposed to use dynamic names to collect dynamic data built on the fly in one or many nodes. Then, it is merged and aggregated hop by hop to provide the response cooperatively to the consumer.
