Secure hashing of the NEMO mobile router communications

Mobile Router, being part of a network-in-motion (NEMO), played an integral role in ensuring the continuous connectivity of communications and services offered to the entire mobility of the network. The Mobile Router, on top of being a subset to most of the functionalities of the MIPv6 Mobile Host, offers extra NEMO specific protocols such as the modification in binding updates, binding acknowledgement, home agent discovery request and reply messages. While it is understood that the implementation of IPSec as a standard security measurement may offer good protection on the communication path of between mobile node and correspondent node, such security dimension is insufficient to protect the signaling in particularly between the Mobile Router´s home agent discovery messages within NEMO protocol.
