Mobile IPv6 defines a set of signaling 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 security
association (SA) that is established between the MN and HA. The MIP6
working group has specified a mechanism to secure the Binding Update
(BU) and Binding Acknowledgement (BAck) messages using an
authentication option, similar to the authentication option in Mobile
IPv4, carried within the signaling 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 is
needed for Mobile IPv6 deployment in certain environments. This memo
provides information for the Internet community.
This document is a product of the Mobility for IPv6 Working Group of the IETF.
