  Abstract

The Mobile IP provides an efficient and scalable mechanism for host mobility within the Internet. However, the mobility implies higher security risks than static operations in fixed networks. In this paper, the Mobile IP has been adapted to allow AAA protocol that supports authentication, authorization, and accounting(AAA) for security and collection for accounting information of network usage by mobile nodes(MNs). For this goal, we propose the boundary zone overlapped network structure while solidifying the security for the authentication of an MN. That is, the proposed scheme delivers the session keys at the wired link for MN''s security instead of the wireless one, so that it provides a fast and seamless handoff mechanism. According to the analysis of modeling result, the proposed mechanism compared to the existing session key reuse method is up to about 40% better in terms of normalized surcharge for the handoff failure rate that considers handoff total time.
