+      To address the Internet’s modern-day requirements with a better
+      fitting model, PARC has created a new networking architecture
+      called Content-Centric Networking (CCN), which operates by addressing
+      and delivering Content Objects directly by Name instead of merely
+      addressing network end-points. In addition, the CCN security model
+      explicitly secures individual Content Objects rather than securing
+      the connection or “pipe”. Named and secured content resides in
+      distributed caches automatically populated on demand or selectively
+      pre-populated. When requested by name, CCN delivers named content to
+      the user from the nearest cache, thereby traversing fewer network hops,
+      eliminating redundant requests, and consuming less resources overall.
