An Efficient Authentication Mechanism Using Regional Registration in Mobile IP Network

As Internet access through mobile devices is increasing, Mobile IP is the protocol to provide the mobility of a host on the existing IP. It is important to provide secure authentication when mobile node register with home agent through the foreign agent each time it moves. In this paper, we propose the authentication mechanism using a regional registration. The proposed authentication mechanism reduce frequent home registration in regional movement. The simulation results show that the proposed authentication reduces the total registration time and is more efficient than conventional registration mechanism.
