Abstract
The emerging issues of personal and network mobility have created a need for the decoupling of identity from location in Internet addressing. This decoupling requires name resolution systems that can provide scalable resolution of globally unique persistent identifiers of communication endpoints, which may be users, devices, content or services. Recent developments in structured peer-to-peer overlay networks have made possible the scalable resolution of flat names, which opens up new possibilities in the area of naming and name resolution systems. In this paper we propose a scheme to provide authentication and verification in a name resolution system based on structured peer to peer networks such as distributed hash tables (DHTs). We specify how namespace security and global uniqueness may be managed with the use of public key cryptography. We also propose a framework within which independent overlay networks may compose a global namespace.
