Deployment of a Secure Wireless Infrastructure Oriented to Vehicular Networks

This paper describes a testbed scenario deployed over a WiMAX based wireless access network using IKEv2 protocol for authentication purposes. OpenIKEv2 is the chosen implementation of IKEv2, that provides security to wireless communications, but also allows us to use the EAP authentication protocol that lets us reach the main purpose of this testbed: to test the behaviour of recent designed authentication methods in a mobility scenario of vertical and horizontal handovers. These researches are aimed at vehicular networks, where mobility is the crucial aspect to be taken into account.
