MUSeS: Mobile User Secured Session

Abstract

Mobility and security are very important services for both current and future network infrastructures. However, the integration of mobility in traditional virtual private networks is difficult due to the costs of reestablishing broken secure tunnels and restarting broken application connections. In order to address this issue, we propose a new communication system called Mobile User Secured Session. Based upon a peer-to-peer overlay network, it provides security services to the application layer connections of mobile users. The secure and resilient sessions allow user connections to survive network failures as opposed to regular transport layer secured connections. We have implemented a prototype and have assessed its proper functioning by running experimentations upon a simple virtual dynamic network.

A Survey on Secure and Resilient Session Schemes: Technical Comparison and Assessment

“…In this section, we present a functional analysis as well as the experiment environment and the results of the evaluation of our approach SEMOS [5] and three stateof-the-art solutions, namely: N2N, HIP and MOBIKE. Mobility support packets for these two phases of communication.…”

“…After each connection disruption, key renegotiation process is needed to restore broken tunnel. In order to adress network failures resulting from location changes or network reconfigurations, several solutions were proposed in the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7] . This work surveys the state-of-the-art in the area of mobile VPN systems, identifies recent research directions and experiments on some open source mobile VPN applications.…”

SEMOS: A Middleware for Providing Secure and Mobility-Aware Sessions over a P2P Overlay Network

“…This paper is an extended version of our previous work presented at Wireless Days 2012 in Dublin [2]. This new version includes an exhaustive state of the art, a more detailed description of the SEMOS underlying P2P overlay network called CLOAK and a comparative evaluation of three existing similar and open source solutions (i.e., HIP, MOBIKE and N2N), with respect to features and latency performances.…”

“…In addition, we have extended MUSeS properties by adding several useful design features. In order to avoid name conflicts, we have also changed the name of our solution from MUSeS in [2] to SEMOS in this paper.…”

End-to-End Key Exchange through Disjoint Paths in P2P Networks

“…D. Ahmat et al In our related work [2], we have proposed an approach to address the security issues of communication sessions when users are mobile across networks. As this approach, which is targeting user-level applications, is based on a P2P network, it can leverage the solution proposed in this paper.…”
