TL;DR
An Information Centric Networking approach for the home communications fabric is proposed and an ICN-based secure publish-subscribe system to support home energy management and a secure group communication protocol with efficient key management specifically embedded in ICN for home data privacy is designed.
Abstract
Motivated by the “clean-slate” opportunity of the evolving Smart Grid, we propose an Information Centric Networking (ICN) approach for the home communications fabric and create an ICN-based secure publish-subscribe system to support home energy management. We design a secure group communication protocol with efficient key management specifically embedded in ICN for home data privacy. To validate the approach, we enhance an open-source ICN implementation and build a proof-of-concept Smart Home testbed.
