ABSTRACT
Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is a novel peer-to-peer event-sharing protocol and architecture for social apps. In this paper we describe SSB's features, its operations as well as the rationale behind the design. We also provide a comparison with Named Data Networking (NDN), an existing information-centric networking architecture, to motivate a larger exploration of the design space for information-centric networking primitives by formulating an identity-centric approach. We finally discuss SSB's limitations and evolution opportunities.
