“…HOKEY solution for seam less handover is based on establishing key hierarchies and using it for secure context transfer, however this solution is very cumbersome and not light weight. In [7], author proposed a global authentication protocol in 4G networks. This protocol enables a vertical handover without requiring a prior subscription to the visited network.…”

Abstract-The present world is encouraging interconnection of different types of networks intern the internet usage for all purpose applications. This leads to ensure seamless handover and repetitive vertical handovers. The heterogeneous network has handover challenge as well as the network security. In our previous work we have proposed third party Intervention for vertical handover. In this proposed work we have extended the previous work by providing security enhancement. The simulation results show that there is a reduction in leakages and attacks after applying our scheme.Keyword-Security, Handover, Heterogeneous Networks, UNI_MOB. I. INTRODUCTION Seamless mobility and roaming is the essential feature of today's wireless communication system. In country like India there is huge demand for seamless internet service access which cannot be met by single operator or single technology. Handover is the important step for this continuous connectivity. It enables the user to maintain session from different access network. The mobile internet availability made people to access internet any time anywhere. The success of telecom operator lies in providing any time access without affecting the Quality of Service. This requires seamless handover across different networks. With less availability of spectrum in competitive market like India, to achieve seamless handover, third party handover is needed. The third party handover will brokerage across different operator networks and services to achieve seamless handover. In our earlier work [1], we have proposed the solution for seamless handover using third party handover solution. The third party handover was using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The individual operator services integrated with third party server just like accessing a web service with loose coupling and third party server made critical decisions regarding handover and authentication. The solution was named UNI-MOB in [1] paper. It was to enable SOA based third party vertical handover solution with user centric. But the solution has several security problems and if not addressed attacker can make the solution not-usable. In this paper we survey the different security solutions in vertical handover and list the security problems in our solution and also propose a solution for the security problems without affecting the delay in bigger way. The ultimate aim of the security solution is that light weight without affecting the delay. The rest of this paper organized as follows. In section 2, we did the literature survey on security in vertical handover. In section 3, defines the problem definition of our proposed work. Section 4 describes the mathematical model for our proposed work. In section 5 analysis the performance of our proposed work via simulations and section 5 concludes this paper. II. SURVEYIn [2], proposed a Media Independent Pre-Authentication handover optimization framework. It provide optimization for inter domain and inter technology handover, and also achieve significant reduction in handov...

“…If the predictive approach is replaced with reactive or proactive handoff it will better tackle the latency issue [6]. The authors Neila KRICHENE et al [7] recommended an authentication scheme for vertical handoff among four distinct networks GSM, UMTS, WiFi and WiMAX knocking out any earlier subscription of mobile node for inter or intra networks. The author's proved the resistance of the authentication scheme for denial of service attacks and MIM attack.…”

“…The author's proved the resistance of the authentication scheme for denial of service attacks and MIM attack. But this work is only limited for mesh topology in 4G networks and doesn't take care for quality of service during vertical handoff [7]. The paper [8] described a vertical handoff among WiFi, WiMAX and UMTS networks.…”

As the number of network service provider's increases so the numbers of handoffs are increases to avail the best quality of services within affordable cost. In such scenarios fast and secure handoff is obligatory but diversification always creates worries of intruders and latency due to heterogeneous architectures with multiple access points. And elongated latency may go ahead to jitter, ping pong effect, triangular routing and packet loss like issues. Neither the reactive nor the proactive protocols alone for vertical hand off addresses the problem of latency efficiently due to their onboard calculation during peak time of handoff. Ensuring security in such frequent vertical handover without interrupted and delayed services is challengeable but desirable as well. Here we proposed a hybrid model for vertical handoff dividing the standard IEEE 802.11 hand off phases in reactive and proactive manner. Initially executing triggering, discovery and authentication phases in proactive mode while association, IP acquisition and home agent acquisition phases in reactive. That will eventually results in reducing latency and packet loss in the best possible way for vertical handoff while maintaining effective continuous session and provide reliable services. For performance evaluation in our scheme we used reactive (AODV), proactive (OLSR) and hybrid (TORA) protocols via OPNET simulator. Parameters used are throughput, end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio. The results show that hybrid protocol using less time comparatively with either reactive or proactive protocols.

“…In case of loose coupling between WiMAX and WiFi networks operators have to describe supplementary mechanisms to implement network intelligence be capable to execute vertical handovers, as WiFi networks are incapable of management. In case of tight coupling, WiMax apparatus will be utilized to tackle subscribers' mobility and seamless connection shift, as they are capable of intelligent management [5].…”

“…In this paper the author's Neila KRICHENE et al discussed a vertical authentication method among the GSM, UMTS, WiFi and WiMAX technologies, regardless of any previous subscription to the visited network [5]. Strength of the paper is that, the authors proposed a global authentication protocol authorizing vertical handover between 4G architecture networks and proved the strength of the protocol against manin-the-middle and denial of service attacks during vertical handover.…”

Abstract-Authentication in vertical Hand over is a demanding research problem. Countless methods are commenced but all of them have insufficiencies in term of latency and packet loss. Standard handover schemes (MIPv4, MIPv6, FMIPv6, and HMIPv6) also practice these shortages when a quick handover is desirable in several genuine circumstances like MANETs, VANETs etc. This paper will evaluate the literature of the work done in past and present for undertaking the authentication concerns in vertical handover and will put down a basis for building the latency and packet loss more effective in such a huge shared situation that can produce to an extremely bulky level. This effort will mostly focus on the existing tendency in vertical handover mostly with the authentication, latency and packet loss issues.
