[Nfd-dev] register a prefix remotely

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Omar

1.
You can request a certificate on http://ndncert.named-data.net

2.
Yes, this identity can be used for authentication, because every certificate is a Data packet which has a Name.

3.
Command Interests are not encrypted. They are signed to ensure it comes from the signer; they carry timestamps to prevent replay attacks.

Yours, Junxiao
