Secure and Optimized Authentication Scheme in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (SOAS-PMIPv6) to reduce Handover Latency

Abstract

Abstract-Advancement in wireless technologies allows mobile devices to access Internet from anywhere at any time.Each network is identified by unique IP address. Mobile IP allows a mobile node to change its network without changing IP address. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has suggested several mobility management protocols such MIPv6, HMIPv6, PMIPv6 etc. for perpetual mobility. MIPv6 is a Host-Based Mobility Management (HBMM) protocol and provides global mobility solution to the mobile node. MIPv6 suffers from basic mobility related problems such as handover latency, packet loss etc. Recently the IETF has suggested Network-Based Mobility Management (NBMM) protocol. The Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is first NBMM protocol. PMIPv6 significantly decreases the signaling overhead, but still has some issues related to the security, handover latency and packet loss. This paper proposes Secure and an Optimized Authentication Scheme in PMIPv6 (SOAS-PMIPv6) to reduce signaling overhead. The proposed scheme provides higher security than the basic PMIPv6 protocol and moreover reduces the signaling cost with respect to contemporary protocols. This paper performs comprehensive analysis on handover latency, packet delivery cost, packet loss etc. and the performance of protocols is mathematically investigated. Numerical result shows that the proposed scheme has improved performance than the MIPv6 in terms of handover latency and provides optimized security than PMIPv6 based protocols.

A Comprehensive Cost Analysis of Intra-Domain Handoff with Authentication Cost in PMIPv6 for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)

“…As a result, the vehicle considers the PMIPv6 domain to be its home network. Figure 3 shows the basic PMIPv6 [12] architecture which encompasses two functional units namely, the mobile access gateway (MAG) [9,13] and an anchor point, known as a local mobility anchor (LMA) [9,13].…”

“…A meant for a vehicle passes via the LMA, which serves as an anchor point in topolo responsible for maintaining the routing and vehicle accessibility within the PMI main. LMA additionally maintains the binding state of each registered vehicle via cache entry (BCE) [13,14]. The BCE includes the vehicle's identification, its HNP, registration flag, and also the tunnel's established interface identification.…”

“…These cells are connected through ideal or non-ideal backhaul architecture [13]. Due to smaller cell, there will be high mobility and handover [14][15][16][17].…”

Handover authentication latency reduction using mobile edge computing and mobility patterns

“…Many ticket-based schemes have been devised in order to reduce authentication latency in the handover process [9,10]. In [11], the number of signaling messages involved in the authentication process has been reduced to minimize the authentication cost. However, none of the above-mentioned approaches have exploited the resources at the Edge and mobility patterns to reduce handover authentication latency.…”
