Heterogeneous network security management

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to develop authentication delay model for inter domain or intra-domain authentications. Authentication is a security mechanism used to identify mobile nodes (MN) and prevent unauthorised usage when inter-domain or intra domain handoff happens. The latency due to authentication procedure is known as authentication delay. The authentication delay depends on message propagation time, message transmission time, message encryption/decryption time, authentication request service and waiting time at the access point, authentication request service and waiting time at the server, key encryption and decryption time, key generation time and the registration request service and waiting time, etc., In existing systems, authentication delay modelling of homogeneous network domain has been carried out and actual values are not applied for modelling the authentication delay. In the proposed system authentication delay modelling of heterogeneous network domain will be carried out and actual values will be applied for modelling the authentication delay.
