What is TNA
• It is an architecture that postulates that:
 All networks can be reduced to a particular
case of persistently identified, transient,
mobile, abstract entities that group into
particular association
• It is an abstraction based persistent
communication network for transient digital
entities
TNA Principles
• Mobility and Ad Hoc characteristics as
basic requirements
• Abstraction as the basis of internetworking
and functionality
• Persistent Identification
Mobility and Ad Hoc
characteristics
• Mobility is the ability of nodes to change
association without breaking referential integrity.
• All components of the architecture are to be
considered transient and mobile
 The components must operate in both
 Connected = Full cohesive communication with the larger
structure is assumed
 Disconnected = limited or no connectivity with other
groupings is possible
• While consolidation is possible; all processes,
services and mechanisms should assume a
mobile deployment environment.
Persistent Identification
• Persistent Identifier=Handle
• Persistently identify:
 globally Digital entities:
 Network components
 Communicating entities
 Services
 Processes
• Identification is based on a set of unique naming
spaces with a distributed resolution on a need to
know basis
How do we use PI’s
• We identify all network entities with
persistent identifiers
• We use these identifiers to route all traffic
in the network
• We identify particular network associations
with persistent identifiers
• We provide secure distributed
administration
• This enables seamless mobility
How do the pieces fit together
What can it do
• Enables new transmission paradigms
• It can move functionality at will
• Allows current and future network to
coexist and seamlessly integrate
Current Research Tracks
• The MESH Network AoI Instantiation –
InterMesh and voice over Intermesh
• Agent Coordination
• Basic DRM expressiveness
InterMesh Motivation
Various types of local networks; WMNs, WSNs,
PANs.
WMN particularly interesting? Advantages,
connectivity models, suitable for WLAN, WMAN,
WVAN, include ad-hoc, …
A growing need for inter-networking among
heterogeneous networks
IP? Some limitations: overloading the address,
absence of trustworthiness
Fundamental design shifts needed -> InterMesh
Motivation
A growing need for inter-networking among heterogeneous (mesh) networks

H-SIP Abstraction
• SIP users and Proxy servers identified with handles
instead of URI and Domain names eliminating any
domain binding
Proxy Handle
User Handle

IDEA
Indirect DRM Evaluation Architecture
• Rely on persistent identifiers to convey
Rights information
• All content and Users identified with
Persistent Identifiers. All licenses and
rights identified with persistent identifiers
• Use a dynamic evaluation mechanism that
relies on a layered rights expression and
enforcement model
Layered Model
• Persistent identifiers
allow referential
integrity at every layer
• Layers are not only
logically but physically
independent
Dynamic evaluation
• In TNA where even services are mobile; DRM
evaluation along with validation resources are
based on persistent Identifiers
• Persistent Identifiers weave the different layers
and services together
• DRM computation is therefore a heterogeneous
diverse ecosystem rather than a vertically
integrated solution
TNA principles and Rights
Mobility
• Based on TNA principles all components of the
architecture are mobile and transient ness is
assumed
• The system can then use opportunistic
connectivity and realm based interconnection to
conform new enforcement areas
• The System provides first class presence to all
members and their interests: From the owned to
the final consumer and provides them with the
flexibility they need to operate in a more real
environment.
Current Application models
• Heterogeneous License compatibility and
evaluation
• Intrinsic authorization and validation
• New features and traditional behaviors:
 Loans
 Second level market
 New Business models
