Abstrakt: Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) allows a Mobile Node to talk directly to its peers while retaining the ability to move around and change the currently used IP address. This mode of operation is called Route Optimization (RO). as it allows the packets to traverse a shorter route than the default one through the Home Agent. In Route Optimization. the peer node learns a binding between the Mobile Node's permanent Home Address and its current temporary Care - of- Address. Once such a binding is in place, the peer node will send all packets whose destination is the Home Address to the Care -of- Address. This is potentially dangerous, since a malicious host might be able to establish false bindings, thereby preventing some packets from reaching their intended destination, diverting some traffic to the attacker, or flooding third parties with unwanted traffic. Most of the proposed security protocols for routing optimization in Mobile IPv6, depend on the special relationship between the home network and the mobile node. In this paper we present a new protocol that does not depend on the security relationship between the home network and the mobile. The security of the protocol is analyzed and its performance evaluation is also given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
