MIPv6 binding update protocol secure against both redirect and DoS attacks

Abstract

We propose a new binding update (BU) protocol between mobile node (MN) and correspondent node (CN) for the purpose of preventing redirect attacks and DoS attacks observed from the existing BU protocols and enhancing the efficiency of the BU protocol, Home agent plays a role of both authentication server validating BU message and session key distribution center for MN and CN. Also proposed is stateless Diffie-Hellman key agreement based on cryptographically generated address (CGA). Security of our proposed protocol is analyzed and compared with other protocols. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
