Abstract:
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 introduce Tapa, a system that uses network storage and services to support mobile users and applications, as an example of a transport service for XIA.
