So, essentially, in order to lower bandwidth demands on streaming video providers, we just need to rebuild the entire Internet, from protocols to network hardware, in a way that requires us to trust every router on the Internet and every device on our local network with detailed information about the exact content we are requesting. Sounds reasonable.

Think encrypted torrents with keys known to a limited number of people (or some more clever key distribution scheme).

While the simplistic version of NDN works as snarkily described, the researchers have built security features into NDN to work with untrusted routers and anonymity. They can actually provide better security through encrypting content and Anonymizing Routers than TCP/IP. For a good analysis of some of the challenges and features in NDN security, I reccomend: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.2205 http://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.2205
