DECOUPLED NAME SECURITY BINDING FOR CCN OBJECTS

摘要

A data-hosting system facilitates binding a decoupled name to a data object. During operation, the system can receive a command to generate a decoupled name that binds a new name to the data object. The system generates a hash for the data object based on the data object's content, such that the hash is not generated based on a name for the data object. The system then obtains a private key for signing the data object, and generates the decoupled name for the data object by encrypting the data object's hash and the new name using the private key. This decoupled name binds the new name to the data object. When a client request the data object based on the network name, the system can return the decoupled name associated with content of the data object. The client can use the decoupled name to validate the data object.
