A new secure and efficient scheme for network mobility management

Abstract

In order to separate a host's identity from its location on the Internet, the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force as a mobility management solution. HIP provides a solid basis to enable secured mobility and multihoming features. Several extensions and proposals have been introduced in recent publications to improve the micro‐mobility features of HIP. Moreover, many other publications have dealt with the efficiency of Network Mobility (NEMO) management with HIP. However, the HIP‐based micro‐mobility management solutions adapted to NEMO scenario do not cover all security aspects requirements and still suffer from security flaws. Therefore, in this paper, a number of potential threats in the typical HIP with Rendez Vous Server are identified. A new secure and efficient scheme for network mobility management is also proposed to overcome the outlined ones. The proposed solution ensures strong authentication between network entities, reduces Denial of Service attacks, secures against Domain Name Server spoofing, reply, and eavesdropping attacks, and ensures end‐to‐end confidentiality and integrity protection. To analyze the security properties of the proposed scheme, we have performed automated formal specification and evaluation with the help of both the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications and the Security Protocol Animator, which have proved that authentication and confidentiality goals are achieved. Hence, the scheme is effective when an intruder is present. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

CGAM: A community and geography aware mobility model

“…Misra et al propose an approach that utilizes filter techniques for target tracking in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Smaoui et al develop a secure scheme for network mobility management in the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), to ensure authentication, confidentiality, and integrity protection. While Qiao et al investigate how Markov, Active LeZi, and spatio‐temporal‐based algorithms perform using distinct spatio‐temporal characteristics, for location prediction in long term‐evolution (LTE) network.…”

Secure Modified Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (MAODV) Routing Protocol

“…So, one of the severe hitches in IEEE 802.11 WMN is the design of apt secure routing protocol which can grip unpredictable vigorous topological variations and multihop transmission of broadband facilities. Smooth provision of broadband facilities over a multi-hop mainstay is a stimulating task and is one of the foremost reasons of recital degradation (Jia et al, 2015;Darehshoorzadeh et al, 2015;Salima et al, 2015) i.e. poor Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and security attacks in WMN.…”
