I believe what they're proposing is largely the same, if not identical, to Content-Centric Networking from Xerox PARC.

The central idea is:

  Instead of asking one particular server for some content, just ask for the content by name.

Since the content may come from any handy server, it is up to the receiver to validate it is really the content he requested. Nothing about this implies the evil "centralized security model" people are going on about. Sure, some bad actor could weasel it in later, but it's not there now.

Yes, the CCNx was the first implementation of NDN and the NDNx they currently using is fork of it.

AFAIK Parc is still receiving some part of the NSF funding to continue working on CCNx.

The ideas are related, but the codebase is now separate: http://named-data.net/2014/08/25/first-public-release-ndn-fo...
