Abstract

The proposed shift from host-centric to information-centric networking (ICN) has triggered extensive research in the area of content naming. Efforts have so far focused on the scalability and security properties that can make content objects routable and self-certifying. In this paper, we argue that the information that is exposed through explicitly naming content objects has been overlooked, although several operational and performance issues depend on the information that a name holds. We therefore revisit content naming design decisions taking into account information exposure and deployability of the ICN paradigm.
