Recent literature suggests that the Internet of Things (IoT) scales much\nbetter in an Information-Centric Networking (ICN) model instead of the current\nhost-centric Internet Protocol (IP) model. In particular, the Named Data\nNetworking (NDN) project (one of the ICN architecture flavors) offers features\nexploitable by IoT applications, such as stateful forwarding, in- network\ncaching, and built-in assurance of data provenance. Though NDN-based IoT\nframeworks have been proposed, none have adequately and holistically addressed\nconcerns related to secure onboarding and routing. Additionally, emerging IoT\napplications such as smart cities require high scalability and thus pose new\nchallenges to NDN routing. Therefore, in this work, we propose and evaluate a\nnovel, scalable framework for lightweight authentication and hierarchical\nrouting in the NDN IoT (ND- NoT). Our ns-3 based simulation analyses\ndemonstrate that our framework is scalable and efficient. It supports\ndeployment densities as high as 40,000 nodes/km2 with an average onboarding\nconvergence time of around 250 seconds and overhead of less than 20 KiB per\nnode. This demonstrates its efficacy for emerging large-scale IoT applications\nsuch as smart cities.\n
