[Ndn-interest] Regarding NDN packet security

[Shashank G]

Hi all,

I am Shashank, a sophomore at National Institute of Technology, Karnataka
from India. I recently began exploring NDN and have been fascinated by its
data security aspect. However, since I am new to the field, I have quite a
few doubts regarding the same, and I was hoping for your patience and
guidance to clarify them.

1) I was trying to understand how cryptographically signing packets works,
and have got a certain grasp of it's advantages, however, I had a doubt -
If the public keys themselves are named, then with the right naming
convention, couldn't an attacker get access to data that he is not supposed
to view. How is this prevented?

2) Is there any mechanism to detect if the producer of data has been
compromised, i.e, his private key has been obtained by a third party? If
so, since the certificates are cached, how do we detect if the producer is
safe or not?

I look forward to learning a lot here and eagerly await your response.
Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
