ICN has become a popular area of research and standardization in the networking community, with many national and multinational
research projects underway. However, despite significant efforts to
develop and apply ICN, there are still many challenges and open
issues that need to be addressed. These challenges include issues
related to security, privacy, scalability, and interoperability with
existing networks. Researchers are actively working to find solutions
to these challenges, and advancements in ICN could have a
significant impact on the future of networking. This book aims to help students and scholars understand and solve challenges related to managing ICN networks, while also ensuring security, privacy, and access control. It provides solutions, design guidelines, and new research directions to address these challenges. Additionally, the book provides information on the latest ICN research and standardization efforts. It includes a history of global ICN activities from 2010 and references various projects. It helps keep the reader up-to-date with the latest developments in ICN technology.
