"Using IPsec between Mobile and Correspondent IPv6 Nodes", Francis Dupont, Jean-Michel Combes, 23-Feb-08. ( bytes)

Mobile IPv6 uses IPsec to protect signaling between the Mobile Node and the Home Agent. This document defines how IPsec can be used between the Mobile Node and Correspondent Nodes for Home Address Option validation and protection of mobility signaling for Route Optimization. The configuration details for IPsec and IKE are also provided.

"Why Authentication Data suboption is needed for MIP6", Basavaraj Patil, Gopal Dommety, 25-Feb-08. ( bytes)

Mobile IPv6 defines a set of messages that enable the mobile node (MN) to authenticate and perform registration with its home agent (HA). These authentication signaling messages between the mobile node and home agent are secured by an IPsec SA that is established between the MN and HA. The MIP6 working group has specified a mechanism to secure the binding update and binding acknowledgement messages using an authentication option, similar to the authentication option in Mobile IPv4, carried within the messages that are exchanged between the MN and HA to establish a binding. This document provides the justifications as to why the authentication option mechanism was needed for Mobile IPv6 deployment in certain environments.

"MIP6-bootstrapping for the Integrated Scenario", Kuntal Chowdhury, Alper Yegin, 21-Apr-08. ( bytes)

Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping can be categorized into two primary scenarios, the split scenario and the integrated scenario. In the split scenario, the mobile node's mobility service is authorized by a different service authorizer than the network access authorizer. In the integrated scenario, the mobile node's mobility service is authorized by the same service authorizer as the network access service authorizer. This document defines a method for home agent information discovery for the integrated scenario.

"DHCP Options for Home Information Discovery in MIPv6", Hee-Jin Jang, Alper Yegin, Kuntal Chowdhury, JinHyeock Choi, 20-Apr-08. ( bytes)

This draft defines a DHCP-based scheme to enable dynamic discovery of Mobile IPv6 home network information. New DHCP options are defined which allow a mobile node to request the home agent IP address, FQDN, or home network prefix and obtain it via the DHCP response.
