Abstract

The IPv6 standard documentation of IETF is recommending to execute Binding Update (BU) using Return Routability (RR) protocol. But, it doesn’t support entirely the security requirement of Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) networks. To solve this problem, the IETF also counsels carrying out the BU using IPSec into RR protocol. But, that it uses in inefficient shot-term connection and mobile device of low-power is inefficient. We propose the efficient and secure Ticket based Binding Update (TBU) protocol for MIPv6 networks. In our TBU protocol, when Mobile Node (MN) first executes the BU, its Correspondent Node issues a ticket to MN. This ticket assist that it is able to do efficiently the BU whenever MN requires the BU for the future. The proposed TBU protocol need not be repeated equal BU course whenever the MN moves to foreign link or network, and is able to be executed in environment of not operating the Home Agent, and also easies scalability. We describe security analysis through attack scenarios and efficiency by comparing previous protocol schemes.
