NDNCERT: NDN Certificate Management Protocol

Language CI Docker

The NDN certificate management protocol (NDNCERT) enables automatic certificate management in NDN. In Named Data Networking (NDN), every entity should have a corresponding identity (namespace) and the corresponding certificate for this namespace. Moreover, entities need simple mechanisms to manage sub-identities and their certificates. NDNCERT provides flexible mechanisms to request certificates from a certificate authority (CA) and, as soon as the certificate is obtained, mechanisms to issue and manage certificates in the designated namespace. Note that NDNCERT does not impose any specific trust model or trust anchors. While the primary use case of this protocol is to manage NDN testbed certificates, it can be used with any other set of global and local trust anchors.

See our GitHub wiki for more details.
