XIA: An Architecture for an Evolvable and Trustworthy Internet

Peter Steenkist, Carnegie Mellon University

The eXpressive Internet Architecture defines a single network that offers inherent support for communication between multiple communicating principals--including hosts, content, and services--while accommodating unknown future entities. XIA also offers intrinsic security in which the integrity and authenticity of communication is guaranteed. In this talk I will give an overview of the XIA architecture and describe how it addresses the evolvability and trustworthiness challenges. I will also discuss plans for prototyping and experimentation.
