Secure micro mobility protocol for new generation wireless network

The success of mobile communication shows the interest of a mobility support of the whole network. Hence, by extending existing host mobility solutions, Network Mobility (NEMO) protocol was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to enable the movement of mobile nodes and networks while maintaining connectivity to their network or the Internet in case of mobility events. The emergence of NEMO is facing more and more problems linked to security threats. Thus, in order to achieve seamless handover in NEMO, we propose in this paper a Secure Micro Mobility for Network Mobility (SMM-NEMO) using AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) mechanism. This helps to efficiently authenticate and securely generate session keys. It enables the integration of authentication schemes with the mobility protocol Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (F-HMIPv6). This proposed protocol has been modeled and verified using the Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) software which has proved its security when an intruder is present.
