Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a host-based protocol supporting global mobility while Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based protocol supporting localized mobility. This paper makes its focus on how to reduce the longer delay and extra cost arising from the combination of authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) and PMIPv6 further. Firstly, a novel authentication scheme (Proxy-AAA) is proposed, which supports fast handover mode and forwarding mode between different local mobility anchors (LMAs). Secondly, a cost analysis model is established based on Proxy-AAA. From the theoretical analysis, it could be noted that the cost is affected by average arrival rate and residence time.

A node of mobile IPv6 moving foreign networks needs authentication process to support right services against from security threat. AAA is a trust infrastructure that authenticates, authorizes, and accounts nodes receiving a network service. And Mobile IPv6 Working Group recommends use of AAA infrastructure to authenticate mobile nodes. Event though AAA infrastructure provides strong authentication functions, it should exchange a lot of messages to authenticate mobile nodes every movement. The exchange of lots of messages causes latency and it is interfered with realization of real-time communication. This paper proposes an authentication method of improved speed using hash value of mobile node to reduce authentication latency. Directly after movement, a mobile node applying a Proposed method uses extended existing security authentication for a while and deletes the establishment latency of new security authentication. Performance evaluation of a proposed method verifies the efficiency through the analysis of cost comparison with other methods. The conclusion of performance evaluation is that the proposed method gets more 25% performance improvement than a general method when a mobile node moves another subnet.

The current trend of the handover authentication delay time is gradually increased according to the interworking between 3G cellular network and WLANs. Therefore, authentication mechanism minimized in delay is required to perform the seamless handover and support the inter-subnet and inter-domain handover. In this paper, we propose a novel pre-authentication scheme based on the fast channel switching which directly performs the authentication with the next access point in advance. In addition, the proposed scheme is efficient in the inter-domain handover and can be easily implemented in current WLANs since it just modifies the client side of user. To analysis and evaluate our scheme, we compare the packet loss ratio and the delay time with the two standard 802.11 authentication schemes. The analytical results show that our scheme is approximate 10 times more effective than the standard schemes in packet loss and the delay time is minimized down to 0.16 msec.

Reducing handoff latency is essential in providing seamless multimedia service in Wireless LAN based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. Reducing authentication delay is critical in reducing handoff latency. To this end, several authentication protocols for fBst handoff have been proposed. Mishra et al. used proactive key distribution to improve the authentication delay incurred in the current standard and Park et al. proposed a new authentication protocol based on Blom's key pre-distribution scheme. In this paper, we propose an enhanced authentication protocol based on Bresson et al.'s group key protocol. If a mobile node has previously access the network, our proposed protocol only requires simple hash operations in providing mutual authentication between a mobile node and access points. Our protocol is more efficient than Park et al.'s and Mishra et al.'s technique can be used in our protocol to further enhance our protocol.

Wireless LAM has the advantage of extension, flexibility and easiness of installation and maintenance. However, due to the characteristics of wireless media, it is vulnerable to security attacks. PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) is estimated to be a good solution offering security function to wireless LAM including global roaming. It offers high security functions as authentication confidentiality and digital signature while it generates big overheads such as CRL search and certificate verification. The overheads can not be avoided during the initial authentication. However, when we consider the case of handoff, it can be minimized through the fast handoff. In this paper, we design a fast handoff authentication mechanism based on PKI in the wireless LAM and analyze the performance of the scheme.

본 연구에서는 무선 이기종망 환경에서 운용되는 듀얼모드 단말이 현재의 연결을 무선랜으로 변경하는 경우에 필요한 선인증 과정의 최적화 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 인증 기법은 빠른 채널 변경 기술을 MAC(Media Access Control) 기능에 적용하여 현재 활성화 된 패킷 데이터 통신에 손실을 최소화 하고 핸드오프 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 인증 과정에 필요한 지연시간을 단축한다. 또한 시뮬레이션 실험을 통하여, 기존에 제안된 전통적인 인증 방법을 사용하는 일반적인 방식 보다 빠른 핸드오프를 수행하여 끊김없는 연결성을 보장함을 보인다.

Since the IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs were known to have several critical weaknesses in the aspect of security, a lot of works have been done to reduce such weaknesses of the wireless LAN security, Among them IEEE 802.lli may be the ultimate long-term solution that requires new security platform with new wireless LAM products. However, it might not be the best solution for small organizations due to its high cost where the cost is a critical issue. This paper proposes FR-WEP, a light-weight key management for wireless LANs that can be used with small changes of the existing Products. FR-WEP is an extension to a lightweight key management, WEP'(9), which was proposed lately. It makes up for the weak points of WEP' by providing lightweight mutual authentication with both host keys and user keys, and seamless key-refresh for authenticated users with fast re-authentication. It would be a good alternative to the heavy standards for wireless LAN security, especially to small organizations hoping for better security.

모바일 에드혹 네트워크(MANET)에서 익명 라우팅을 위해 각 노드가 익명ID를 이용하여 MAC 단에서 익명으로 서로를 인증하고 네트워크 단에서 익명 라우팅 수행하는 AODV 기반의 라우팅 기법이 제안된바 있다[4]. 하지만 기존의 제안된 방법은 익명ID가 변경될 때마다 페어링 연산을 통해 재인증을 해야 하며, 라우팅 경로 중간의 노드들은 메시지의 연결성을 없에게 위해 매홉마다 암·복호화를 반복하여 상당히 비효율적이다. 본 논문은 기존논문의 노드 인증 기법을 확장하여 실제 메시지의 교환과정에서 일어나는 홉 간 암호화 횟수를 줄이고, 임시 인증값을 이용한 노드 상호간의 빠른 인증 기법을 사용하여 노드간의 인증과 익명성을 보장하는 보다 효율적인 프로토콜을 제안한다.

IEEE 802.11 규격[1]은 2.4GHz 및 5GHz 대역에서 무선 근거리 접속 통신을 위한 국제 표준이다. 1997 년 2.4GHz 대역에서 1, 2 Mbps 의 속도를 지원하는 최초의 규격이 정의된 이래, 속도 개선을 위한 변복조 방식, 보안, QoS 등 다양한 요구 사항을 만족하기 위하여 표준이 지속적으로 개정되어 왔으며 2012 년 새로 개정된 표준이 발표된 바 있다. 특히, 최근 들어서 스마트폰의 무선랜 사용량이 폭발적으로 증가하고 무선랜 접속을 위한 핫스팟 역시 수가 크게 늘면서, 보안성을 유지하면서도 무선랜의 초기 연결접속 시간을 최소화(FILS; Fast Initial Link Setup)함으로써 무선랜 접속 요청 이용자 수에 확장성을 갖는 무선랜 규격을 제정할 필요성이 생기면서 IEEE 내에 802.11ai Task Group[3]이 승인되어 현재 표준화 작업을 진행중에 있다. IEEE 802.11 무선랜 규격에서 초기 연결접속 시간의 상당 부분을 네트워크 발견, 보안 접속, 인증 등에 소요하게 되어, IEEE 802.11ai에서는 보안성을 떨어뜨리지 않으면서도 빠르게 인증을 하기 위한 매커니즘에 대해 논의 중이다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11ai에서 논의 중인 "FILS를 위한 EAP/EAP-RP 기반의 빠른 인증" 기술에 대해 살펴보고, 이의 장단점을 분석하여 보다 개선된 형태의 빠른 인증 기법을 제안하고자 한다.

This paper reinforced security under the network evaluation of wire wireless integration of NEMO (NEwork MObility) supporting mobility and network-based PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6). It also proposes $SK-L^2AS$ (Symmetric Key-Based Local-Lighted Authentication Scheme) based on simple key which reduces code calculation and authentication delay costs. Moreover, fast handover technique was also adopted to reduce handover delay time in PMIPv6 and X-FPMIPv6 (eXtension of Fast Handover for PMIPv6) was used to support global mobility. In addition, AX-FPMIPv6 (Authentication eXtension of Fast Handover for PMIPv6) is proposed which integrated $SK-L^2AS$ and X-FPMIPv6 by applying Piggybacks method to reduce the overhead of authentication and signaling. The AX-FPMIPv6 technique suggested in this paper shows that this technique is better than the existing schemes in authentication and handover delay according to the performance analysis.
