Description
Summary:Information-centric networking (ICN) has gained significant interest in recent years, attracting both academic and industry, it represents a paradigm shift and moving away from the host-based IP networks that dominate today landscape. As ICN technology matures and advances towards real-world deployment, the importance of addressing security and privacy concerns has grown exponentially. The ICN paradigm is deliberately designed to encompass numerous security and privacy features, including but not limited to provenance and privacy. These features, which are often lacking in the host-centric paradigm, inherently form a core aspect of ICN. Nevertheless, due to its relatively recent emergence, the ICN paradigm also presents a range of unresolved privacy challenges. This paper offers a comprehensive survey of the existing literature on privacy primarily focuses on major domains name privacy. We delve into the fundamental principles of existing research and evaluate the limitations of proposed methodologies. In name privacy, we also explore strategies to preserve name privacy. We have identified future research directions and highlighted ongoing challenges in the pursuit of enhancing ICN privacy.
