ESS-FH: Enhanced Security Scheme for Fast Handover in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6

Abstract

SUMMARYFast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (F-HMIPv6) that combines advantages of Fast Handover for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) achieves the superior performance in terms of handover latency and signaling overhead compared with previously developed mobility protocols. However, without being secured, F-HMIPv6 is vulnerable to various security threats. In 2007, Kang and Park proposed a security scheme, which is seamlessly integrated into FHMIPv6. In this paper, we reveal that Kang-Park's scheme cannot defend against the Denial of Service (DoS) and redirect attacks while largely relying on the group key. Then, we propose an Enhanced Security Scheme for F-HMIPv6 (ESS-FH) that achieves the strong key exchange and the key independence as well as addresses the weaknesses of Kang-Park's scheme. More importantly, it enables fast handover between different MAP domains. The proposed scheme is formally verified based on BAN-logic, and its handover latency is analyzed and compared with that of Kang-Park's scheme.

Securing Locations of Mobile Nodes in Wireless Mesh Network’s

“…The ESS-FH protocol [15] is proposed to enhance Kang-Park"s protocol [13] by combining the CGA technique [8] and the public-key cryptography operation. The protocol provides a strong key exchange and key independence based on both the public key encryption and the CGA technique.…”

An Enhanced Secure Mobility Management Scheme for Building IoT Applications

“…If not, it is vulnerable to various attacks, such as Session Hijacking (SSH), Malicious Mobile Node Flooding (MMF), Man-In-The-Middle (MITM), and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks 4,5 . For security reasons, the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server was used, as well as the security protocol in PMIPv6.…”

“…Recently, Kang and Park, and You, Lee, Sakurai and Hori proposed the Kang-Park Scheme and ESS-FH (Enhanced Secure-Mobility Data Management Scheme for Fast Handover) 4,5 , to secure the signaling message in the FH-HMIPv6 environment. In this paper, we analyze its method, and then propose an Enhanced Security and InterDomain Scheme for FPMIPv6 (ESS-FP) 6 .…”
