Title : Why Authentication Data suboption is needed for MIP6
Author(s) : B. Patil, G. Dommety
Filename : draft-ietf-mip6-whyauthdataoption-05.txt
Pages : 17

Mobile IPv6 defines a set of messages that enable the mobile node
(MN) to authenticate and perform registration with its home agent
(HA). These authentication signaling messages between the mobile
node and home agent are secured by an IPsec SA that is established
between the MN and HA. The MIP6 working group has specified a
mechanism to secure the binding update and binding acknowledgement
messages using an authentication option, similar to the
authentication option in Mobile IPv4, carried within the messages
that are exchanged between the MN and HA to establish a binding.
This document provides the justifications as to why the
authentication option mechanism was needed for Mobile IPv6 deployment
in certain environments.

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
Internet-Draft.
