  2. AGENDA • Mobile IP & Concepts. • Mobil IP Packet Flow. • Threats. • Security.

  3. Mobile IP & Concepts • Mobile IP is a protocol, developed by the Mobile IP Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group. • Mobile IP inform the network about the change in network attachment such that the Internet data packets will be delivered in a seamless way to the new point of attachment. • The basic Mobile IP protocol permits mobile internetworking to be done on the network layer. • Care-of Address is an address of a Foreign Agent with which the Mobile Node is registered.

  4. Need of Mobile IP • Terminology • A home link is the link on which a specific node should be located; that is the link, which has been assigned the same network-prefix as the node’s IP address • A foreign linkis any link other than a node’s home link – that is, any link whose network-prefix differs from that of the node’s IP address

  5. Introduction • There are 3 functional entities where it is implemented: • Mobile Node – a node which can change its point-of-attachment to the Internet from one link to another while maintaining any ongoing communications and using its (permanent) IP home address • Home Agent – router with an interface on the mobile node’s home link, which: • Is informed by the mobile node about its current location, represented by its care-of-address • In some cases, advertises reachability to the network-prefix of the mobile node’s home address, thereby attracting IP packets that are destined to the mobile node’s home address • Intercepts packets destined to the mobile nodes home address and tunnels them to the mobile node’s current location, i.e. to the care-of-address

  6. Introduction • Foreign Agent – a router on a mobile node’s foreign link which: • Assists the mobile node in informing its home agent of its current care-of address • In some cases, provides a care-of address and de-tunnels packets for the mobile node that have been tunneled by its home agent • Serves as default router for packets generated by the mobile node while connected to this foreign link

  11. What is Tunneling • A tunnelis a path followed by a fist packet while it is encapsulated within the payload portion of a second packet: Figure from J. D. Solomon. Mobile IP - The Internet Unplugged. Prentice-Hall, 1997

  12. Threat 1 INSIDER ATTACKS • This threat is due to the individuals who are suppose to be trustworthy. • This attack is due to the disgruntled employee gaining access to the sensitive data and then forwarding it to a competitor. • A survey suggests that twice as many attacks are due to insiders on corporate world.

  13. Security form Threat 1 • By enforcing strict controls on who can access what data. • Use of strong authentication of users and computers, eliminate plaintext username/password based etc . • Encrypting all data transfer on an end to end basis between the source and the destination using various encryption algorithms.

  14. Attacker’s address Sayy.y.y.y ATTACKER Original Care of address Sayx.x.x.x MN HA FA Registration request: “The mobile node’s new care of address” is y.y.y.y

  15. Threat 2  Denial-of-service • This threat prevents someone from getting useful work done by: • An attacker sends the tremendous number of packets to a host that brings the host’s CPU to its knees attempting to process all the packets. • An attacker interfaces with the packets that are flowing between two nodes. • In the case of mobile node, if an attacker send a request message to HA as his IP address as the care of address for a mobile node then: • Attacker will get a copy of packets. • Mobile will not get any packets.

  16. Security from Threat 2 • The security to this threat is implemented by cryptographically strong authentication in all registration messages exchanged between mobile node and its home agent. • Mobile IP allows the use of any authentication algorithm, bit all should support default “Keyed MD5”(Message-Digest) algorithm.

  17. Registration Request Fun(MD5) Message Digest Fun(MD5) Message Digest EQUAL ? MN HA

  18. Threat 3  Passive Eavesdropping • This threat occurs when an attacks on someone else’s packets in order to learn the confidential information. • Wireless networks are more vulnerable because in this the attacker need not physically be connected to the network. Security from Threat 3 • Link- Layer Encryption. • End-to-End Encryption.

  19. Areas of vulnerability CN Plaintext HA FA Link Encryption Link- Layer Encryption. • In this the mobile node and the foreign agent encrypt all packets they exchange over the link. • This technique is important when wireless LAN is in use. MN

  20. End-to-End Encryption CN HA FA MN End-toEnd Encryption. • In this encryption and decryption is done at the ultimate source and destination. • Data is protected irrespective of the medium used.

  21. Threat 4  Session-Stealing • In this an attacker waits for the legitimate node to authenticate itself and then takes over the session without realizing the mobile node about this. • The attacker steals the session by sourcing packets that appear to come from the mobile node and intercepting packets destined for mobile node. Security from Threat 3 • Link- Layer Encryption. • End-to-End Encryption.

  22. Threat 5  Other Active Threats • In this the attacker tries to connect to the network jack, find out the IP address and break into the other hosts on the network. HOW? • Attacker figures out the network prefixes assigned to the link- by listening the mob IP agent advertisements,by listening the packets and examine the source and destination IP address. • Then guessing the host number, which along with the network prefix, give him the IP address to use. • Then tries to break into the hosts on the network.

  23. Security from Threat 5 • All network jacks must connect to a foreign agent that has been configured to enforce the policy with the R bit in its agent authentication. • There must not be nay nodes whose sessions can be captured. • Remove non mobile nodes. • All nodes should use link encryption.
