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.

当今的互联网承受着巨大的压力：使用模型的多样性越来越多，迫切需要值得信赖的沟通以及越来越多的利益相关者必须协调以提供互联网服务。该项目正在开发表现力的互联网体系结构（XIA），这是一种潜在的新网络体系结构，这是围绕几个关键原则构建的潜在新网络体系结构。首先，XIA代表一个单一的网络，该网络对包括主机，内容，服务和未知未来实体在内的不同校长之间的沟通提供了固有的支持。对于每种类型的主体，Xia定义了一个狭窄的腰部，该腰部决定了通信和网络通信机制的API。 其次，Xia取决于内在安全性的基础，在这种安全性的基础上，使用Xia的各种自我认证标识符可以保证通信的完整性和真实性。 第三，XIA实现了灵活的上下文依赖机制，以在交流原理之间建立信任，从而弥合人类和内在安全的标识符之间的差距。最后，认识到互联网在我们的社会中的核心作用，经济，政策和可用性考虑因素在Xia的设计中起着重要作用。 该项目包括用户实验来评估和完善网络与用户之间的接口，以及分析技术设计决策与经济激励和公共政策之间关系的研究。该项目的结果将了解潜在的未来网络体系结构，该网络固有可信赖，它支持网络使用模型和网络技术和网络技术的长期演变，并为网络接口提供了透明的网络互动，并为网络接口提供了差异。 该体系结构还将为包括用户，ISP和内容所有者在内的各种利益相关者提供更大的知名度和控制。
