The existing handover authentication schemes have authentication delay and overhead of the authentication server since they have been separately studied handover authentication at the link layer and the network layer. This paper proposes a handover authentication scheme initiated by Mobile Node on FMIPv6 based mobile access networks. The main idea of the paper is to generate a session key at the mobile node side, and transfer it to the next Access Router through the authentication server. Also, the scheme has a hierarchical key management at access router. There are two advantages of the scheme. First, the generated session key can be utilized for protecting the binding update messages and also for access authentication. Second, hierarchical key management at the access router reduced the handover delay time. The security aspects on the against PFS, PBS, and DoS attack of proposed scheme are discussed.

VANET에서 빠른 핸드오버를 위한 Fast MIPv6를 사용하는데 있어 Mobile Node이 다음 Access Router로 이동함에 따라 새로운 주소를 생성하고 이전주소를 새로운 주소로 교환하는 과정인 Fast Binding Update가 안전하게 수행하기 위해 핸드오버 인증 프로토콜이 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 핸드오버 인증 프로토콜 중 Kempf가 제안한 SEND기반의 핸드오버 인증 프로토콜이 Sybil 공격 및 DoS 공격에 보안상 취약하므로 생기는 CPU 성능 저하 문제를 인증과정을 수행하기 전에 Access Router의 주소 리스트를 사용하여 완화시키는 방법을 제안한다. 그로 인해 CPU 성능의 효율성을 보장하도록 한다.

MIPv6 는 MN(Mobile Node)가 자신의 홈 네트워크를 벗어나 외부 네트워크로 이동하여도 다른 노드들과 끊김 없이 지속적인 통신을 할 수 있게 해주는 인터넷 프로토콜이다. MN 은 외부네트워크로 이동 후 HA(Home Agent) 및 CN(Correspondent Node)로 핸드오버(Handover) 동작의 수행하며 이로 인한 지연이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 지연을 줄이기 위한 대책으로 Fast 핸드오버가 등장하였다. Fast 핸드오버 과정에서 MN 은 이동하려는 서브넷의 라우터(New Access Router: NAR)로의 전환을 위하여 현재 연결된 AR 과 미리 정보를 주고 받게 되고, 이동이 발생한 후에 NAR 과의 핸드오버 지연시간이 감소하게 된다. 반면 공격자가 flooding 을 통해 MN 에게 DoS(Denial of Service) 공격을 가하여 MN 을 다운시킨 후, MN 으로 위장하여 데이터를 가로채는 취약점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 위의 취약점을 보완하기 위하여 핸드오버 과정에서 주고받는 메세지에 대한 기밀성 및 노드 인증을 제공하는 ID 기반 암호시스템에 기반한 안전한 Fast 핸드오버 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 메시지의 암호화와 노드 인증을 통해 무결성 및 기밀성을 보장하고 Traditional PKI 시스템에 비해 공개키 인증시간을 단축하는 이점을 가질 것으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes a secure and efficient handover authentication protocol in VANET supporting fast mobility. Although the existing schemes commonly use the hash function or XOR operation to be suitable for a light-weight mobile, it does not support the security feature such as PBS. To solve this security problem, another protocol utilizing the CGA technology is proposed but it is vulnerable to the DoS attack due to a number of exponent operations. The proposed protocol using a light-weight Diffie-Hellman provides security features and performs a reduced number of exponential operation at the MN than the existing scheme.

Handover is the technology to minimize data lose of mobile devices and make continuous communication possible even if the device could be moved from one digital cell site to another one. That is, it is a function that enables the mobile user to avoid the disconnection of phone conversations when moving from a specific mobile communication area to another. Today, there are a lot of ongoing researches for fast and efficient hand-over, in order to address phone call's delay and disconnection which are believed to be the mobile network's biggest problems, and these should essentially be resolved in all mobile networks. Thanks to recent technology development in mobile network, the LTE network has been commercialized today and it has finally opened a new era that makes it possible for mobile phones to process data at high speed. In LTE network environment, however, a new authentication key must be generated for the hand-over. In this case, there can be a problem that the authentication process conducted by the hand-over incurs its authentication cost and delay time. This essay suggests an efficient key caching hand-over method which simplifies the authentication process: when UE makes hand-over from oMME to nMME, the oMME keeps the authentication key for a period of time, and if it returns to the previous MME within the key's lifetime, the saved key can be re-used.

PMIPv6 is a network-based mobility support scheme, proposed and standardized by NetLMM WG of IETF. It is proposed to solve problems of conventional mobility schemes, and to improve inefficiency of those. The standard document describes network components and detailed procedures to provide mobility to MN. But it describes only a handover procedure between MAGs, not between LMAs. In order to support seamless connectivity of MN efficiently, a handover procedure between LMAs is necessary. The proposed scheme in this paper utilizes a route optimization procedure to prevent inefficiency of inter-LMA tunneling scheme. At the same time, the proposed scheme utilizes a pre-authentication scheme to reduce handover latency. According to the result of performance evaluations, the proposed scheme greatly reduces handover latency, compared to conventional mobility support schemes.

In this paper, a conventional key exchange method simply Performs the key exchange setup step based on discrete algebraic subjects. But the mutual-authentication procedure of wireless PKI for reducing authentication time uses an elliptical curve for a key exchange setup step. Proposed hand-over method shows reduced hand-over processing time than conventional method since it can reduce CRL retrieval time. Also, we compared proposed authentication structure and conventional algorithm, and simulation results show that proposed authentication method outperforms conventional algorithm in authentication waiting time.

This paper proposed an authentication interworking protocol (AIP) based on IEEE 802.21 MIH in the heterogeneous networks. The proposed AIP using the RSA signature reduces handover delay time and communication message overhead when the mobile node moves between the heterogeneous networks. It defines new AIP TLV in MIH frame format and uses the MIH Information Server (MIHIS) for proxy signature issue instead of the authentication server for the heterogeneous networks. For low handover delay, the proposed AIP performs pre-authentication processes with MIH protocol before layer 2 handover. Also, this paper analyzed the performance of the handover and compared with the non-secure MIH protocol.

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.
