Abstract
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a paradigm to cope with
the lack of built-in security primitives and efficient mechanisms for content
distribution of today's Internet. However, deploying ICN in a wireless
environment poses a different set of challenges compared to a wired
environment, especially when it comes to security. In this paper, we present
the security issues that may arise and the attacks that may occur from
different points of view when ICN is deployed in wireless environments. The
discussed attacks may target both applications and the ICN network itself by
exploiting elements of the ICN architecture, such as content names and
in-network content caches. Furthermore, we discuss potential solutions to the
presented issues and countermeasures to the presented attacks. Finally, we
identify future research opportunities and directions.
