NEW APPROACH TO SECURE AND AUTHENTICATE MOBILE IPV6SIGNALS

摘要

In the Mobile IPv6 protocol, the mobile nodes uponmoving sends binding updates signals to its Home Agentand correspondent nodes to inform them about its currentlocation. If these signals are not authenticated andsecured, Mobile IPv6 protocol is vulnerable to seriousattacks. This paper proposes defense mechanisms againstsuch attack and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses ofthe proposal. As for the defense mechanism, we propose anew security and authentication method with focus onone that does not make use of Return Routablity andIPSec. The assessment of the previous defensemechanisms formed the basis of the design goals andprinciples of our approach.
