The Internet is a well-noted technological success that has significantly impacted the dissemination of information and brought human society closer together than it ever had been. While many of the initial design choices associated with the Internet led to its successful rise to prominence, the Internet was not designed to face many of the challenges that have emerged in the modern era in which people access information while on the move from anywhere, at any time. Notably, one of the primary hurdles challenging the continued success of the Internet is the security of the communications crossing the Internet. In order to address the challenges facing the evolution of the Internet, several clean-slate future Internet architectures have been proposed, each attempting to address certain aspects in which the Internet needs to evolve, and each with varying advantages. Across all of these different architectures, there remains a need to examine and address fundamental aspects related to ensuring the security of these architectures. This thesis examines several of the key security challenges facing several of the emerging future Internet designs, and specifically explores aspects related to securing the MobilityFirst future Internet design. In particular, one of the core contributions of this thesis is a thorough exploration of aspects related to securing new naming services intended to support more dynamic associations between users, their names and their network addresses. This thesis provides a thorough exploration of the protocol-level security challenges facing the administration of new name resolution services that separate names from network addresses, and further examines the possibility of using such a name resolution service as a mechanism to apply access control in the future Internet. A further contribution of this thesis is the exploration of security services for mobile ad hoc networks and the Internet of Things, which represent two important and emerging network modalities that will become part of the future Internet.
