An efficient content source verification scheme for multi-receiver in NDN-based Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) is a heterogeneous environment where multiple devices/consumers can interest/request for the same chunk of content at the same time with the need for source authenticity. According to the current NDN policy, only one user can verify the content authenticity using a digital s...

An efficient content source verification scheme for multi-receiver in NDN-based Internet of Things
