IETF has proposed Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) for efficient mobility management, FMIPv6 has no solutions to protect binding updates. Previous researches have mainly concentrated on using AAA, public cerificates or cryptographic algorithms to secure binding updates. However the approaches need a particular infrastructure or a heavy processing cost to setup secure associations for handovers. Proposed scheem provides authentication for FMIPv6 without infrasturcture and costly cryptographic algorithms by extending Return Routability Protocol. Also proposed scheme is oble to be used for various existing handover mechanisms in IPv6 network.

In Mobile IPv6 handover should be followed by RO(Route Optimization) to support direct communication between a MN(Mobile Node) and CN(Correspondent Node). For this RR MIPv6 must perform RR(Return Routability) procedure before BU(Binding Update) to CN. The Fast Handover for MIPv6(FMIPv6) also performs the RR test for MN to communicate with CN directly. However, Return Routability test has long latency resulting in handover delay in MIPv6. This paper proposes the method to reduce the handover deay by reducing RO latency in FastMobile IPv6.

IETF 에서는 이동노드와 다른 엔티티들 사이에서 발생하는 시그널링을 줄이기 위하여 계층적 이동성 관리 프로토콜(HMIPv6)을 제시하고 있다. HMIPv6는 MAP이라는 새로운 엔티티를 도입하여 특정 지역 내에서 지역 흠 에이전트의 역할을 수행하도록 함으로써 이동노드와 다른 엔티티 간에 발생하는 시그널링을 줄이고, Mobile IPv6의 핸드오프 성능을 개선하도록 하고 있다. HMIPv6에서는 MAP과 이동노드 사이의 인증을 위해 IKE 와 같은 보안 프로토콜을 사용하도록 정의하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 많은 부하가 걸리는 IKE 대신에 RR(Return Routability) 절차를 이용하여 이동노드와 MAP 사이의 인중을 제공하는 방법을 제안한다.

When Mobile IPv6 is deployed in commercial network, a mobile node needs AAA services for an authentication, authorization and accounting. AAA and Mobile IPv6 are protocols which are operated independently. Then schemes which merge these protocols have been emerged. These schemes can enable a mobile node to establish a security association between the mobile node and a home agent and to perform a binding update for the home agent using AAA authentication request. But these schemes introduce many signal messages and long handover latency during the handover, since Route Optimization mode for Mobile Ipv6 is performed using Return Routability procedure. To solve this problem, we propose a scheme for Route Optimization mode that the home agent performs the binding update for a correspondent node via the AAA infrastructure between the home agent and the correspondent node instead of Return Routability procedure. For performance evaluation, we analyze signal message transmission costs and handover latencies during handover. We show performance improvement of the proposed scheme which reduces handover latency as 61% compared with the existing scheme.

Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 improves performance of Mobile IPv6 by managing Binding Update in terms of location, With improved handover delay, realization of delay-sensitive services (e,g, VoIP or video streaming) has become more persuadable, Comparing with Mobile IPv6, however, Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 brings security threats related to Local Binding Update to mobile network, In the RFC 4140, specific methods to authenticate Local Binding Update message are not explicitly presented. It is essential that design secure architecture to address problems related to authenticating Local Binding Update, Many secure suggestions for Local Binding Update, however, concentrate on infrastructure-based solutions such as AAA PKI. These approaches may cause scalability problem when the suggested solutions are applied to real network. Therefore we suggest authentication method that doesn't require infrastructure, In addition to authentication of Local Binding Update, our method also provides mobile node with power saving ability.

Mobile IPv6에서 단말이 이동을 하게 되면 경로 최적화를 위한 바인딩 업데이트를 하게 된다. 안전한 바인딩 업데이트를 위해 RFC 3775에서 Return Routability가 제안 되었다. 그러나 Return Routability는 MN과 HA 사이에는 IPSec으로 Secure Path를 보장 받지만, MN과 CN 사이에는 바인딩 업데이트 과정에 공격자가 개입할 경우 다양한 공격에 노출될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는CN도 MN과 같이 HA와 Secure Channel을 보유한 이동 단말일 경우, 각 HA 사이에 커버로스 서버를 이용한 키 분배를 통해 바인딩 업데이트 메시지가 전달되는 전 구간에 걸쳐 안전한 경로를 확보하는 아키텍쳐를 제안한다.

An Internet draft, named RR(Return Routability) protocol, proposed to IETF mobileip WG, in order to establish an optimal path to MN(Mobile Node) by securely sending the BU(Binding Update) message to CN(Correspondent Node). However, it has some problems with initiating the protocol by the MN: it causes to increases in communication load in the home network, to increases communication delay between MN and CN, and increases in communication load due to unnecessary message exchanges. To resolve the problems, this paper proposes an alternative scheme for the RR protocol in MIPv6. The proposed scheme is devised to start the protocol by HA on receiving the first packet from CN. It decreases the route optimization overhead by reducing the number of BU messages as well as the communication time. Beside these advantages, this scheme provides the same security grade as the original RR protocol.

Network Mobility (NEMO) handles mobility of multiple nodes in an aggregate manner as a mobile network. The standard NEMO suffers from a number of limitations, such as inefficient routing and increased handoff latency. Most previous studies attempting to solve such problems have imposed an extra signaling load and/or modified the functionalities of the main entities. In this paper, we propose a more secure and lightweight route optimization (RO) mechanism based on exploiting the firewall in performing the RO services on behalf of the correspondent nodes (CNs). The proposed mechanism provides secure communications by making an authorized decision about the mobile router (MR) home of address, MR care of address, and the complete mobile network prefixes underneath the MR. In addition, it reduces the total signaling required for NEMO handoffs, especially when the number of mobile network nodes and/or CNs is increased. Moreover, our proposed mechanism can be easily deployed without modifying the mobility protocol stack of CNs. A thorough analytical model and network simulator (Ns-2) are used for evaluating the performance of the proposed mechanism compared with NEMO basic support protocol and state-of-the-art RO schemes. Numerical and simulation results demonstrate that our proposed mechanism outperforms other RO schemes in terms of handoff latency and total signaling load on wired and wireless links.

Recently, IETF Mobile IP WG focus on security problem issues in Mobile IPv6 and provide appropriate protocol to solve them. These include the protections of Binding Updates both to home agents and correspondent nodes, prefix discovery messages and transporting data packets. In Mobile IPv6, control traffics between home agents and mobile nodes uses IPsec to avoid that mobile nodes and correspondent nodes may be vulnerable to attacks. It is used, however, Return Routability procedure for correspondent node to assure that the right mobile node is sending the messages. In this paper, we propose method of IPser processing to protect messages between home agents and mobile nodes.
