dc.description.abstractMobile Internet Protocol version 6 (Mobile IPv6) has been proposed as a standard protocol to provide mobility in Next Generation Networks. Mobile IPv6 protocol as a new protocol has a few issues that need to be addressed such as extending the protocol to provide smooth and fast hand off mechanisms, network mobility, quality of service and the bandwidth management of real time mobility applications. However, the biggest issue is the security vulnerability of Mobile IPv6 because without proper security the protocol will be useless. Mobile IPv6 has three main components: the Mobile node, the Correspondent node and the Home Agent. For the protocol to be secure, the Mobile node and its Home Agent should trust each other. The Correspondent node should trust the Mobile node because the Mobile node is the one giving and updating the information to the Correspondent node. The signals between all of these components should be secured and authenticated. Mobile IPv6 is currently defined with a security solution called Return Routability that provides the Mobile node with an authentication mechanism and protects the signals between the Mobile node and the Correspondent node. Mobile IPv6 mandates the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) support between the Mobile node and its Home Agent to let them trust each other and to protect the signals between them. While IPSec may offer strong protection (depending on the algorithm used), the use of IPSec within Return Routability does not necessarily cover all areas of security. This solution is especially vulnerable to the Man-in the-Middle attack. The main objective of this thesis is to design a new security protocol to provide higher levels of authentication and security for Mobile IPv6. This security protocol has to provide a level of security and authentication which is higher than the current mechanism which is Return Routability. Additionally, the new proposed security protocol will provide a consistent framework replacing the comprehensive IPSec implementation within Mobile IPv6. This proposed new security protocol called Certification Authority Router’s Certificate (CARC) will also ensure protection against the Man-in the-Middle attack. The new proposed protocol was successfully verified using two versions of the Murphy verifier, Murphy 3.1 and Triple Murphy. In both verifications, the new protocol proved to be more secure than the Return Routability protocol.en_US
