Abstract
Two of the major concerns in the practical deployment of mobile computing systems are security and accounting. This paper describes a new security protocol which provides mutual authentication, data and location privacy, and accounting for mobile communications efficiently. It describes an implementation of the protocol and formally proves its correctness. The novelty of the protocol lies in the following points: (a) optimization for the common case of authentication upon handoff in order to solve the problems induced by high network latency and network partitions, (b) the mechanism for generation of the shared keys during authentication, (c) mechanism for generation of nonces, (d) location privacy using a combination of dynamic addressing and the security protocol, and (e) integration of accounting in the security protocol. A partially addressed problem in this paper is providing secure multicast. 1 Introduction Recent years have witnessed explosive development in the por...
