Abstract
Named Data Networking is a novel networking architecture which places emphasis on the naming and signing of data. Once so named, the location of data sources becomes less important and the emphasis moves from host to host transfers to pulling data from the network. Furthermore data are cached en route to their destination. We believe this approach has interesting possibilities for High Energy Physics (HEP) and report on work we have done in this area including the development of a scalable repository, a ROOT plugin and a small local testbed, the submission of jobs to a grid cluster and some ideas on an authentication system for LHC VOs.
