The use of these mechanisms will allow Mobile IP to scale from small research environments to potentially millions of mobile nodes across thousands of networks owned-operated by different organizations and service providers. A Public Key Infrastructure is proposed that focuses specifically on authentication of Mobile IP knowledgeable nodes, NOT general use for authenticating individuals.}, }
