Abstract
Managing digital identity documents with a proper privacy protection is of pivotal importance to construct trustworthy Internet. As far as the amount of digital identities is expanding at an accelerating rate, content-centric model provides administration capabilities of data transfer. We propose an innovative approach and implementation of privacy-aware Content-Centric Internetworking (CCN)-based of federated digital identity. Privacy requirements related to identity are translated with user-centric federated digital identity parlance into a set of eleven rules. CCN has been enforced by respecting a set of rules, designing a data packet and creating an identity contract. We provide an implementation of privacy-aware CCN data packet that is bound to XML-based digital identity document. We explain that the forwarding engine verifies the validity of digital identity document transmission on the basis of identity contract terms. Three use cases are presented to detail the proposed approach with the corresponding UML sequence diagrams.
