Using return routability for authentication of fast handovers in mobile IPv6

초록

IETF published Fast Handovers in Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) for efficient mobility management. FMIPv6 has no solutions to protect binding update messages. Previous researches have mainly concentrated on using AAA, public cer-tificates or cryptographic algorithms. However the approaches need a particular infrastructure or heavy processing cost to authenticate binding updates in FMIPv6. Proposed scheme provides authentication for FMIPv6 without infrastructure and costly cryptographic algorithms by the extended Return Routability. Also proposed scheme is able to be used for various existing handover protocol in MIPv6 network. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
