A content router comprising storage configured to cache, in a content oriented network (CON), a content object with a signature signed by a publisher based on a known identity to a subscriber; and a transmitter coupled to the storage and configured to forward the content object with the signature upon request to the subscriber, wherein the subscriber uses the signature to verify one of the content object's integrity and the content object's authenticity based on the known identity without verifying a trust of a publisher key for the publisher, and wherein the known identity is trusted by the publisher and does not require verifying trust from the publisher.
