Abstract

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) offers centralized 
network-based mobility support for mobile nodes (MN). This 
centralized nature of mobility leads to the performance issues 
such as single-point failure, non-optimal routing, low scalability, 
authentication latency, and signaling overhead. Additionally, 
PMIPv6 does not support inter-domain handover due to which 
the on-going sessions cannot be maintained between two 
PMIPv6 domains.  The existing solutions for inter-domain 
mobility management are considered to be unsuccessful to cope 
with this problem. In this paper, a novel approach called Secure 
Inter-domain Distributed PMIPv6 (SIDP) is proposed to 
overcome the aforementioned issues.  The SIDP separates 
traditional mobility anchors into Control Mobility Anchor 
(CMA) and Data Mobility Anchor (DMA). CMA holds the 
functionalities of Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) and control 
plane whereas DMA buffers and forwards the data plane 
packets. We present basic design, DMA decision process, strong 
authentication, dynamic mobility management, optimized 
routing, and inter-domain handover of our proposed scheme. 
The authentication procedure is based on symmetric 
cryptographic and collision free one-way hash function to make 
the distributed mobility management secure. The security 
analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme possesses user 
anonymity, fraud avoidance, mutual authentication, forward 
secrecy, backward secrecy, and one-time session key agreement.
