An Anonymous Authentication Scheme Based on Group IBS for PMIPv6 Network

With the rapid development of network infrastructure and the explosive growth of mobile devices, the construction of network architecture has been paid more and more attention, in which PMIPv6 network with its shorter handover delay and lower signaling overhead becomes one of the current research’s hotspots. However, most scholars’ research focus on the efficiency and security of the authentication process between the mobile node and the access network, while ignoring the privacy issues during authentication which may cause great impact for mobile users. In this paper, we put forward an anonymous authentication scheme for PMIPv6 based on group IBS. The scheme is equipped with pseudonyms and several salient authentication protocols. Brief analysis shows that the proposed scheme is more efficient than the typical ones.
