Abstract: Several excellent works have been done on the Industrial Internet; however, some problems are still ahead, such as reliable security, heterogeneous compatibility, and system efficiency. Information-centric networking (ICN), an emerging paradigm for the future Internet, is expected to address the challenges of the Industrial Internet to some extent. An integrated architecture for industrial network and identity resolution in the Industrial Internet is proposed in this paper. A framework is also designed for the ICN-based industrial network and named data networking (NDN) based factory extranet with software-defined networking (SDN). Moreover, an identity resolution architecture in the Industrial Internet is proposed based on ICN paradigms with separate resolution nodes or with merging resolution and routing.
