Named Data Networking (NDN) is a transmutational construction for the Future Internet equipped toward approaching the Internet’s numerous problems, including content security, content caching, and administration complexity. Security policy in the NDN is based on the digital signatures appended to all the transmitted packets in the NDN. However, a digital signature leaks the identity of the actual producer. To hide the producer’s identity, this paper designs a secure data transmission protocol that ensures the producer’s anonymity in the NDN. The proposed protocol is based on the concepts of Shao et al.’s proxy re-signature and Fan et al.’s methods. Besides, it is formally secured under the intractability of the Decisional Bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption. Feasibility analysis demonstrates that the proposed protocol not only inherits the benefits of data confidentiality, supporting unknown potential receivers, and lower storage cost, but also supports the producer’s anonymity with minimal overheads.

命名数据网络（NDN）是Future Internet的一种变构结构，旨在解决Internet的众多问题，包括内容安全性，内容缓存和管理复杂性。NDN中的安全策略基于附加到NDN中所有已传输数据包的数字签名。但是，数字签名会泄漏实际生产者的身份。为了隐藏生产者的身份，本文设计了一种安全的数据传输协议，以确保生产者在NDN中的匿名性。所提出的协议基于Shao等人的代理重新签名和Fan等人的方法的概念。此外，它在决策双线性Diffie-Hellman假设的难处理性下得到了正式保护。
