University of Murcia has developed the Novel Identity-based Network Architecture for Next Generation Internet (NGI)

The current online communication model, which was designed as a common infrastructure to let distant networks be interconnected without monopolizing the underlying communications infrastructure, presents two main challenges:

• The decoupling of location (IP addresses) and identification (identifiers, identities),
• The scalable mobility support and, of course, the integrated security.

For these and other reasons, the University of Murcia has been working on the paper: 'A Novel Identity-based Network Architecture for Next Generation Internet', where they show a network architecture for the Next Generation Internet that prevents operation traceability and protects the privacy of communication parties while raising their identity to be a central element of the network.

In this paper, they present a novel architecture and protocol for the Next Generation Internet that places digital identities in the middle of communications.

The paper also addresses the successful verification of the protocol security and demonstrates its feasibility and scalability, showing its behaviour when placed on top of two different architectures.

This paper is a valuable input that approaches us to safer online communication between parties and helping build the Next Generation Internet.
