[Ndn-interest] Ndn-interest Digest, Vol 48, Issue 13

Dear Michael,

Thanks for sharing the synopsis. I haven't read it completely, but I have a
hunch that NDN holds promise for distributed networking and storage like
IPFS. Me and my students have been working at the intersection of
blockchain and storage. At the same time we are also exploring NDN, mostly
the security aspects.

The IP based network layer of distributed storage systems can be replaced
by NDN. One can leverage on the inbuilt security and content caching
available in NDN. I am not sure at this point how all these might work
together, but we have been thinking along these lines. I will be very happy
to discuss about this problem.

Our recent paper "BlockStore: A Secure Decentralized Storage Framework on
Blockchain" (Accepted in IEEE AINA'18) discusses about decentralized
storage. We are working on the full version of the paper which will contain
implementation on Ethereum and pointers to networking issues.  This will be
up soon on Arxiv.

Best Regards,

Sushmita

> Hi Michael,

> https://named-data.net/doc/NDN-packet-spec/current/>)

> 2/ you wrote "Additional technical challenges enter into the picture when

> many active areas of work today in such things as mobile ad hoc networks
> (MANET) and delay tolerant networks (DTN). How are these related to
> decentralized content-oriented networks? Can current efforts such as NDN
> and IPFS support mobility and delays?"

> To the last one: I need to read more about IPFS, but I can answer the NDN
