Abstract

In future wireless networks, mobility-related services, such as candidate access router discovery (CARD), will play a significant role in realizing truly ubiquitous, seamless connectivity. In order for these services to be realized, however, their particular security concerns must be addressed. Moreover, the security solution must be flexible and highly configurable in order to meet the demands of inter-domain roaming agreements. In this paper, we explore a number of alternatives and present a general architecture, iARSec, that provides both authentication as well as explicit authorization for services running between neighboring access routers.
