- 15. 15 OK, but why do we need a new internet? What’s wrong with the one we already have?
- 16. Because, Ants… 16 Individual simplicity Collective sophistication
- 17. 17 But, but… How do you even build a new internet?
- 18. First, Get the Requirements Right for Permission-less Innovation • Open • Royalty-free • Decentralised • Scalable • Secure • Easy to deploy globally, and • Formally specified 18
- 19. Then, the Building Blocks • Service Centric and Information Centric Networking • A publish/subscribe architecture and dataflow/event processing network realised within RINA (Recursive InterNetwork Architecture) • Naming and addressing in the network, including a suitable domain name topology • Application layer inter-networking • The blockchain for state, replicated data-types, and authenticated links 19
- 20. The Blockchain • Probably Bitcoin’s major innovation • Foundation for new decentralised and distributed systems The block chain is a technology step-change to build a secure, scalable and open coordination platform globally. Not limited to currency or financial systems. 20
- 21. The Block Chain is • A ledger: an ordered record of transactions – verified – immutable – public – anyone can replicate and verify it independently – records consensus of the “truth” 21
- 22. Summary • We have a grandiose vision to build – A platform for an open Web of Things – On a new (co-existing) internet – And then extend that new internet to other domains • But our biggest challenge is to do so while being a commercial success 22
