Abstract

With infinite apps and online services, future Internet architecture will face new challenges and consequences, such as scalability, dependability, suitable mobility, and security. Internet use has changed spectacularly from one-way communication to content distribution, as much content is generated every minute. Blockchain and Named Data Networking (NDN) are two cutting-edge technologies on the verge of revolutionizing how we use the Internet. Blockchain is a decentralized ledger technology allowing users to store and share data securely. On the other hand, NDN is a new way of networking that focuses on content instead of location. Combining blockchain and NDN can create a safer, more efficient, and more decentralized internet. Blockchain can provide tamper-proof data records, and NDN can deliver content to users efficiently and securely. This paper emphasizes the importance of research in the field of blockchain over Named Data networks. It highlights the advantages of combining blockchain with NDN and discusses the difficulties and open research questions related to the use of blockchain over NDN. Also, the potential impact of blockchain over NDN on the future of the Internet as it can create a safer, more efficient, and more decentralized Internet.
