Enhanced Authentication Scheme for Proxy Mobile IPv 6

Mobility management protocols play a vital role during mobile node transmission. That’s why IETF NETLMM working group has recently presented a new approach, i-e, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) which is a network-based mobility management protocol. But, PMIPv6 still suffers from the long authentication latency during the handover process. In order to improve the performance of Proxy Mobile IPv6, HyunGon Kim and Jong-Hyouk Lee, propose a Diffie-Hellman key based authentication scheme that exchange Diffie-Hellman variables with mobile node’s profile for secure ongoing sessions. The above scheme improved handover latency by reusing session keys. But, this proposed protocol is required more computation time for generation of these session keys which affect the handover latency. To overcome this deficiency, we proposed another authentication scheme which use elliptic curve diffie-hellman key based algorithm for generation of shared secret session keys in Proxy Mobile IPv6. The propose authentication scheme needs Shorter Key Length, having Lesser Computational Complexity, required Low Power Requirement , More Secure and achieve minimum handover latency. The simulation results show remarkable improvements over PMIPv6, Predictive FPMIPv6, and DH-FPMIPv6 in terms of handover latency. [Kanwal Imran, Saeed Mahfooz, Azhar Rauf, Shah Khusro.
