[Ndn-interest] Adding HMAC to available NDN signature types

[GTS]

Hi,

adding an HMAC-based authenticator option to secure NDN content is a 
good idea.
It certainly makes sense for intranets and other intra-AS settings.

I believe that CCNx has introduced an HMAC option quite some time ago.
It might be worthwhile to check with PARC and not to reinvent the wheel.

Cheers,
Gene
