Abstract
To date, a number of authentication protocols have been proposed for Mobile-IP. Among these incompatible protocols, it is not clear until now which one will be the preferred one for global deployment of Mobile-IP. Based on the policy of allowing various protocols to co-exist, this draft specifies an authentication framework that allows Mobile-IP entities to negotiate for a protocol to be employed. The framework also outlines the utilization of message extension for carrying all information required by the authentication protocol being used. Based on the proposed framework, this draft then proposes a 'Minimal Public Key Based Authentication' which addresses the need for scalable but lightweight authentication protocol. The proposed protocol secures the registration process, and requires a number of message rounds that is fully compatible with the base Mobile-IP.
