Integrating Identity-Based Encryption in the Return Routability Protocol to Enhance Signal Security in Mobile IPv6

摘要

In Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), the authentication procedure between nodes has recently been an active research area. Return Routability Protocol (RRP) is a mechanism used in MIPv6 to provide the nodes with some authentication and to secure binding update messages. A large number of studies have discussed the weaknesses of this mechanism and its enhancement. In the current paper, a new approach called Return Routability Identity-Based Encryption protocol is proposed for the enhancement of security and authentication in the predecessor RRP. Hence, the proposed protocol is simulated and verified using a Murphi model checker. Finally, the simulation results show that strong security and authentication between the nodes have been achieved, and the current attacks in Return Routability have been addressed.
