Security enhancement for IPv6 mobility using Certificateless Public Key Encryption
Keywords:
Binding Update, Certificateless Public Key Encryption, Return Routability and Mutual Authentication.Abstract
Mobile IPv6, also known as MIPv6, is an IETF standard that has added the roaming capabilities of Mobile Nodes (MNs) in IPv6 network. It allows an MN to move from one network to another without any disruption in communication. The MN registers its current location to the Home Agent (HA) and the Correspondent Node (CN) with the help of a secure Binding Update (BU). Return Routability Protocol (RRP) is a mechanism used in MIPv6 to provide authentication and secure these BU messages. Though RRP has advantages, it has several security threats and issues. Hence, this paper proposes an improved RRP that overcomes security threats using certificate less public key cryptography. The security properties of our proposed protocol are verified using Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA).
