Information-centric network namespace policy-based content delivery

At least one non-transitory machine readable medium including instructions for information-centric network namespace policy-based content delivery that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations to:

• receive a registration request from a node on an information-centric network (ICN);
• validate credentials of the node, wherein validation of the credentials includes verification of a security level and a category included in the credentials;
• register the node with the ICN based on results of the validation;
• register a set of content items associated with the node with the ICN;
• receive an interest packet from a consumer node for a content item of the set of content items that includes an interest packet security level for the content item;
• determine compliance of the security level of the node with the interest packet security level;
• and
• transmit, responsive to the compliance determination, the content item to the consumer node.

A method for information-centric network namespace policy-based content delivery, the method comprising:

• receiving a registration request from a node on an information-centric network (ICN);
• validating credentials of the node, wherein validating the credentials includes verifying a security level and a category included in the credentials;
• registering the node with the ICN based on results of the validation;
• registering a set of content items associated with the node with the ICN;
• receiving an interest packet from a consumer node for a content item of the set of content items that includes an interest packet security level for the content item;
• determining compliance of the security level of the node with the interest packet security level;
• and
• transmitting, responsive to the compliance determination, the content item to the consumer node.
