Abstract
A Multi-hop Cellular IP (MCIP) network differentiates global and local domains in terms of macro/micro-mobility in heterogeneous multi-hop communication. However, a MCIP network is vulnerable to various attacks and compromises during macro/micro-mobility processes in an adversarial environment. Existing MCIP protocol does not provide macro/micro-mobility security protection for mobile stations. In this paper, we introduce and evaluate a secure macro/micro-mobility protocol (SM 3P). In the proposed SM 3P, mobile IP security has been extended for supporting macro-mobility across local domains through the process of multi-hop registration and authentication. In a MCIP local domain, a certificate-based authentication achieves the effective routing and micro-mobility protection from a range of potential security threats. Our evaluation and simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the SM 3P.
