Mobility management protocols support mobility for roaming mobile nodes in order to provide seamless connectivity. Proxy Mobile IPv6 is a network-based localized mobility management protocol that is more suitable for resource constrained devices among different mobility management schemes. In this protocol, all mobility signaling procedures are completed by network entity not mobile node. According to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 architecture, an authentication procedure has a key role to protect the network against different security threats; however, the details of authentication procedure is not specified in this standard. In this paper, different security features are explored to evaluate the authentication protocols in Proxy Mobile IPv6. The existing authentication approaches can be analyzed based on these criteria to find security issues.

In 6LoWPAN networks, several mobility management schemes have been proposed based on Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6). However, the existing schemes are centralized, and thus they have many serious drawbacks such as nonoptimal data route, injection of unwanted data traffics into core networks, increased cost of network engineering, and large registration and handover delays. To overcome these limitations, we propose new distributed mobility management schemes for 6LoWPAN networks. In the proposed schemes, Home Agent (HA), Local Mobility Anchor (LMA), and Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) functions are implemented in 6LoWPAN gateways, and the handover operations are performed directly between two neighboring 6LoWPAN gateways. By numerical analysis, we show that the proposed distributed schemes can significantly reduce the registration and handover delays, compared to the existing centralized mobility schemes.
