Today's Internet is under enormous pressure: there is a growing diversity of use models, an urgent need for trustworthy communication, and a growing set of stakeholders who must coordinate to provide Internet services.The project is developing the eXpressive Internet Architecture (XIA), a potential new network architecture that is built around several key principles. First, XIA represents a single network that offers inherent support for communication between diverse principals including hosts, content, services, and unknown future entities. For each type of principal, XIA defines a narrow waist that dictates the API for communication and the network communication mechanisms. Second, XIA rests upon a foundation of intrinsic security in which the integrity and authenticity of communication is guaranteed using XIA's various self-certifying identifiers. Third, XIA enables flexible context-dependent mechanisms for establishing trust between the communicating principals, bridging the gap between human and intrinsically secure identifiers. Finally, recognizing the Internet's central role in our society, economic, policy, and usability considerations play a major role in XIA's design. The project includes user experiments to evaluate and refine the interface between the network and users, and studies that analyze the relationship between technical design decisions, and economic incentives and public policy.The outcome of the project will be knowledge about a potential future network architecture that is inherently trustworthy, supports long-term evolution of network use models and network technology, and provides explicit interfaces for interaction between network actors. The architecture will also enable greater visibility and control for various stakeholders, including users, ISPs, and content owners.

当今的互联网面临着巨大的压力：使用模式日益多样化，迫切需要可靠的通信，越来越多的利益相关者必须协调提供互联网服务。该项目正在开发eXpressive Internet Architecture（XIA），这是一种潜在的新网络架构，围绕几个关键原则构建。首先，XIA代表一个单一的网络，为不同主体（包括主机、内容、服务和未知的未来实体）之间的通信提供固有的支持。对于每种类型的主体，XIA都定义了一个窄腰，它规定了用于通信的API和网络通信机制。 其次，XIA依赖于内在安全的基础，其中使用XIA的各种自认证标识符来保证通信的完整性和真实性。 第三，XIA支持灵活的上下文相关机制，用于在通信主体之间建立信任，弥合人类和本质安全标识符之间的差距。最后，认识到互联网在我们社会中的核心作用，经济，政策和可用性考虑在XIA的设计中发挥了重要作用。 该项目包括用户实验，以评估和完善网络与用户之间的接口，并研究分析技术设计决策之间的关系，经济激励和公共政策。该项目的成果将是关于潜在的未来网络架构的知识，该架构具有内在的可靠性，支持网络使用模式和网络技术的长期发展，并且提供用于网络参与者之间的交互的显式接口。 该架构还将为包括用户、ISP和内容所有者在内的各种利益相关者提供更大的可见性和控制力。
