A Proactive Authentication Integration for the Network Mobility

The security is a critical point to the network mobility deployment. The authentication and authorization aspects are part of the security considerations that the operators need to take into account. In a multi-operators environment, we give here an overview of some operators´ recommendations and constraints relative to the AAA architecture for the NEMO networks. Then, we propose and evaluate an AAA architecture based on the PANA, diameter and EAP protocols in a multi- operators scenario. Finally, we propose a proactive authentication approach to increase the overall performances of an IP handover.
