Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a decentralized Host Identity Protocol (HIP)-based multimedia communication system, used to study security mechanisms in distributed environments. The system does not rely on the presence of infrastructure, although it can utilize any available to enhance connectivity. The prototype was implemented on Linux using the HIP for Linux framework. This platform has enabled it to be deployed on a number of different devices, including mobile hand-held. By using HIP for connections, the development effort was greatly reduced, while still providing strong security and good connectivity.
