1. A Framework of Media-Independent Pre-authentication (MPA) for Inter-domain Handover optimization draft-ohba-mobopts-mpa-framework-05.txt Ashutosh Dutta Victor Fajardo Yoshihiro Ohba Kenichi Taniuchi Henning Schulzrinne (See also draft-ohba-mobopts-mpa-implementation-04.txt for performance results)

2. Media-independent Pre- Authentication (MPA) MPA is a mobile-assisted higher-layer authentication, authorization and handover scheme that is performed before establishing L2 connectivity to a network where mobile may move in near future MPA provides a secure and seamless mobility optimization that works for Inter-subnet handoff, Inter-domain handoff and Inter-technology handoff MPA works with any mobility management protocol Time Conventional Method AP Discovery AP Switching MPA Pre-authentication IP address configuration & IP handover Time Client Authentic ation Packet Loss Period

3. MPA Phases 1.Pre-authentication: EAP pre-authentication to CTN (Candidate Target Network) 2.Pre-configuration: Proactive IP address acquisition from CTN 3.Pre-switching: L3 HO execution over MN-nAR tunnel 4.Switching: L2 handover 5.Post-switching: Tunnel deletion Not all MPA phases have to be executed and can be replaced with other mechanisms MPA Operation can stop at phase 1 (pre-auth only) or at phase 2 (pre-auth + pre-authorization),

5. Agreement in IETF68 Revise MPA framework draft to focus on inter-domain handover problem Specific changes are explained in next slides

6. “Inter-domain Handover” Section Added Definition of an administrative domain (or a domain): –Networks that are managed by a single administrative entity –An administrative entity may be a service provider, an enterprise and any organization. An Inter-domain handover will by-default be subjected to inter-subnet handover and in addition it may be subjected to either inter-technology or intra-technology handover. Inter-domain handover will be subjected to all the transition steps a subnet handover goes through and in addition it will be subjected to authentication and authorization process as well. It is also likely that type of mobility support in each administrative domain will be different. For example, administrative domain A may have MIPv6 support, while administrative domain B may use Proxy MIPv6.

9. “Applicability Statement” Section moved to earlier section (Section 4) MPA is categorized as a proactive handover optimization mechanism. In other words, MPA is more applicable where an accurate prediction of movement can be easily made Even if accurate prediction of movement is easily made, effectiveness of MPA may be relatively reduced if the network employs network- controlled localized mobility management in which the MN does not need to change its IP address while moving within the network. Effectiveness of MPA may also be relatively reduced if signaling for network access authentication is already optimized for movements within the network, e.g., when simultaneous use of multiple interfaces during handover is allowed In other words, MPA is most viable solution for inter-administrative domain predictive handover without simultaneous use of multiple interfaces

10. Performance result: MPA with L2sec bootstrapping Use of MPA to bootstrap L2 security, e.g., IEEE 80211i, required for candidate networks, before handover Handover performance between network-layer assisted pre-authentication and 802.11i pre-authentication is similar Network-layer assisted pre-authentication works across multiple subnets/domains/media whereas 802.11i pre-authentication works only within the 802.11 and in the same ESS.

12. Summary MPA framework draft has been presented 5 times since IETF62 The draft has been revised to focus on inter- domain handover and it’s in a good shape The draft is fully ready to be a RG draft
