Title : A Scheme of Mobile Firewall in Mobile IPv6

More and more activities rely on mobile devices. It is an
important issue on how to protect mobile users engaged in mobile
services. Unfortunately, the conventional firewalls are
inappropriate for mobile networks. Furthermore, with a conventional
firewall, an administrator of mobile nodes is unable to monitor /
control dynamically the mobile nodes' activities when the mobile
nodes roam. In this draft, we introduce a new concept of mobile
personal firewall and propose a concrete scheme that matches the
mobile environment and exploits the mobile network facilities.
When a mobile node (MN) roams into a foreign network managed by a
mobility anchor point (MAP), the home agent (HA) will authorize the
MAP to serve as a security proxy. The HA will negotiate with the MAP
on the security association and then transfer to the MAP the defined
security rules that will be applied on all communications to the MN.
According to HMIPv6 protocol, all packets to MN will go through MAP.
Therefore, the MAP has the ability of filtering packets. The MAP
could also send the MN's traffic logs to the HA. The MN's
administrator could dynamically monitor the MN's activities by
retrieving the MN's traffic logs through the HA. If necessary, the
MN's administrator could update the security rules so that the MN's
activities could be controlled dynamically. All the operations are
transparent to the MN, and the MN will be served in a way
specified by its administrator no matter where it roams.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
