Introduction
• Mobile IP defines two IP addresses
• Home Address (HoA)
• The MN’s fixed identifier
• Visible in all packets the MN uses whether on its home network or
a visited network
• Care of Address (CoA)
• The MN’s routable address on a visited network
• Visible in all packets sent from the visited network
The problem
• Roaming problem:
• HoA on a visited network reveals user roaming to an on-looker
• CoA reveals user roaming to a correspondent
• Profiling problem:
• As with any IPv6 address, an HoA or a CoA can be profiled for
activity
Profiling problem
• Care of Address:
• Can use privacy extensions to IPv6 (RFC 3041)
• Could introduce additional Mobile IPv6 signaling
• Home Address:
• Using RFC 3041 addresses introduces DNS and IPsec
considerations:
• DNS:
• DNS update Mobility Option in BU
• Frequent updates (more than static HoA, and dynamic HoA)
• DNS TTL has to be small
• IPsec:
• Since the MN – HA SA is keyed on HoA, frequent re-keying is
necessary
• Uses HoA as phase 2 identity (IKEv1) or Traffic-Selectorinitiator (IKEv2)
Roaming Problem
• Knowledge of CoA to a correspondent
• Reverse-tunnel data packets
• Knowledge of HoA to an on-looker
• Reverse-tunneling:
• ESP tunnel between MN and HA carries all traffic including
Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgment
•
Route Optimization:
• Replace HoA with a Label in both Binding Update and data
packets
• Packet formats in the solutions draft
Privacy Label Computation
• HoA should be recoverable from the Label
• Label should be computable without HoA, since HoA should not be
visible in any route-optimized packets (including BU) sent from the
MN to CN
• If BU is reverse-tunneled, the HoA is visible in the HA – CN path, but
Label computation can include HoA
• If BU is sent route-optimized, HoA is not visible at all, but needs
addition of a bit to the HOTI message
Label Computation
• Privacy Label = String XOR HoA
• String = First (128, HMAC_SHA1 (Kpm, (CoA | Home Nonce Index |
Care-of Nonce Index)))
• Kpm = Kbm for reverse-tunneled BU
• Kpm = First (64, Kcn (HoA set to all zeros | nonce | 0))
