A Naming Scheme for Identifiers in HiiMap

Many researchers agreed that the split of locator and identifier seems to be a very promising approach. Although this solution addresses the most critical issues in todays Internet architecture, new challenges arise through the mapping system which is necessary to resolve identifiers into the corresponding locators. One interesting question is how the naming of identifiers is done. In this work we give an overview of a naming scheme for identifiers based on the HiiMap locator/identifier split Internet architecture. The naming scheme supports user friendly identifiers for hosts, content and persons and does not rely on DNS. We furthermore give a possible solution for a search algorithm that can deal with spelling mistakes.
