Routing optimization security in mobile IPv6 (original) (raw)

A New Secure Binding Management Protocol for Mobile IPv6 Networks

This paper proposes a novel secure binding management protocol for mobile IPv6 networks for use in the implementation of routing optimization. The idea uses the public key of the home network of a mobile node to cryptographically generate the mobile node’s home address and the associated private key to sign the mobile node’s authentication requests. In addition, the proposed protocol performs reachability tests for both the home address and the care-of address. The proposed protocol offloads all expensive cryptographic operations from a mobile node to its home agent. The security of the protocol is informally analysed and an initially evaluation of its performance given

Security enhancement for IPv6 mobility using Certificateless Public Key Encryption

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).

A Robust Secured Mechanism for Mobile IPv6 Threats

2014

Mobile IPv6 has been developed to enable mobility in IP network for mobile terminals. MIPv6 have a lot of feature in comparison to previous Mobile IP protocol. From the data security perspective, the basic objective during the development of Mobile IPv6 has been that it must be at least as secure as previous Mobile IP protocol and it should not introduce any new security threats. But it suffers from various security threats like Eavesdropping, Secure route optimization, connection hijacking and denial of services. and security issues are one of the primary considerations that need to be address. In this paper we proposed a mechanism which includes all security components like Authentication, confidentiality and integrity, secretes key management. It will reduce all security threats and enhance security of Mobile IPv6.

A Secure and Decentralized Registration Scheme for IPv6 Network-Based Mobility

International journal of engineering and technology, 2013

For frequent movement of a mobile device, there is a need for a secure registration procedure of the mobile device by announcing its current location to the home network, especially, if it is not in the home domain. While devising the registration procedure for mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) based network, it is essential to consider the security issues for cryptographic approaches and an infrastructure requirement on the network. If a public key based cryptography is used for improving the security, then the key exchange mechanisms of the communicants must be handled appropriately. The infrastructure based approach increases the complexity of the mobile device and the mobility agents and also requires an additional message exchanges. Hence, this paper deals with an infrastructure-less registration scheme with symmetric key approach that acts upon MIPv6 environment consisting of the mobile node, home agent, and correspondent node. The proposed scheme is simulated and evaluated for security usi...

A REVIEW OF SECURE ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR IPV6 BASED MOBILE AD- HOC NETWORKS (MANET

The Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) have become most significant and are being used widely in many applications. Generally, these applications require low cost, low energy and low data nodes that communicating over multiple hop to cover a large geographical area. In internet protocol version (IPv6) based MANETs, the neighbor discovery enables nodes to self-configure and communicate with neighbor nodes through auto configuration so the chances of energy consumption and security of network become high. This paper presents a survey of different routing protocols of IPv6 based MANET to minimize the cost, delay, energy consumption rate. The major dispute in providing connectivity is to minimize the energy consumption of network and provide security in ad hoc routing protocol between nodes and ad hoc networks. There, this paper focuses on comparative analysis of routing protocols with their security and also we briefly describe different ways to provide global security for IPv6 based MANETs. Wireless equipment's such as Bluetooth or the 802.11 standards enable mobile devices to set up a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) by connecting dynamically through the wireless medium without any centralized configuration [1]. MANETs recommend several advantages over traditional networks including reduced infrastructure costs, ease of founding and fault tolerance capability, as routing is performed independently by nodes using other intermediate network nodes to forward packet data from one node to another node [2], this multi-hopping reduces the chance of security. So IPv6 based MANET is introducing by researches which a combination of mobile nodes that dynamically structures a temporary network. It executes without the usage of existing infrastructure with more security by using the concept of Secure Neighbor Discovery (SeND) with Light Weight Cryptographic Address Generation (LW-CGA). Because of the property of self-deliberate, in which every point of network behaves as source or router and moreover every nodes keep moving freely in network area. MANET plays an important role in connectionless system. Security is the primary need in mobile ad hoc network for securing the sensitive information from hackers. In MANET, normally, numbers of attacks are routing protocol attacks. Mobile Ad-hoc system is the kind of system, where communication happens in remote medium utilizing an access point. Different systems like WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) are the systems in which communication happens through physical medium. MANET is the foremost promising network and multiple access procedure for data transmission because:  It is strong to frequency-selective fading,  Compensates for the effect of multipath at the receiver node by designing a filters, which can gather the transmitted energy spread over multiple nodes, and  Allows receiver nodes to differentiate among signals simultaneously transmitted by multiple transmitting nodes. For these reasons, MANET increases network reuse and reduces packet retransmissions rate, which results in decreased energy consumption and increased network throughput within the ad hoc network. The Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6)-enabled network architecture has recently attracted much attention. In this paper, we introduce a comparative analysis of MANET routing protocols based on IPv6 with security algorithm that provide better security mechanism during the transmission of packet data.

Securing IPv6’s Neighbour Discovery, using Locally Authentication Process 1

2014

Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), in IPv6, allowed nodes to Autoconfigure using neighbour discovery protocol. Neighbour Discovery (ND) and Address auto- configuration mechanisms may be protected with IPSec Authentication Header (AH). Protecting all traffic will include Address Resolution Protocol. To protect this, IPSec will need agreed Key. For Key setup, UDP packet is sent, which requires IPSec for secure communication. So IPSec requires Agreed Key and for Key setup IPSec is needed, this creates a loop. To solve this problem Locally Authentication Process is presented in this paper. This process will provide a certificate of ownership of IP address on network Interface card and Public key to provide authorization. On the other hand, it will also reduce the network load.
