Abstract
Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (Mobile IPv6) will be an integral part of the next generation Internet protocol. The importance of mobility in the Internet gets keep on increasing. Current specification of Mobile IPv6 does not provide proper support for security in the mobile network and there are other problems associated with it. This paper is concerned with security aspects of the registration protocols in Mobile IPv6. Providing security in Mobile IPv6 registration is highly important. The registration part must be guarded against any malicious attacks that might try to take illegitimate advantage from any participating principal. This paper proposes a registration protocol that is based on self certified keys. Despite its practicality, our proposed protocol provides a scalable solution for authentication, while sets minimal computational overhead on the Mobile Node and the Mobility agents.
