Authentication method between mobile node and home agent in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. An authentication method for safe communication between a home agent (HA) and a mobile node (MN) in a wireless communication system including the HA, a foreign agent (FA) connected to the MN assigned a Mobile IP address, and first and second servers provided respectively to the HA and the FA for authentication, comprising the steps of:
- upon receiving a Registration Request message from the MN, generating by the FA an Access Request message and transmitting to the first server through the second server the generated Access Request message;
upon receiving the Access Request message, generating by the first server an authentication shared key with a preset number by the first server and transmitting to the FA through the second server the generated authentication shared key;
authenticating by the FA the Registration Request message according to the authentication shared key and transmitting to the HA the authenticated Registration Request message;
determining by the HA whether the preset number is included in the authenticated Registration Request message; and
registering by the HA the MN when the preset number is included in the authenticated Registration Request message.

Abstract
Disclosed is an authentication method between a mobile node (MN) and a home agent (HA) in a wireless communication system supporting packet communication. The wireless communication system includes the HA, a foreign agent (FA) connected to which the MN assigned a Mobile IP address, and first and second servers provided respectively to the HA and the FA for authentication. Upon receiving a Registration Request message from the MN, the FA generates an Access Request message and transmits the generated Access Request message to the first server through the second server. Upon receiving the Access Request message, the first server generates an authentication shared key with a preset number and transmits the generated authentication shared key to the FA through the second server. The FA authenticates the Registration Request message according to the authentication shared key and transmits the authenticated Registration Request message to the HA. The HA determines whether the preset number is included in the authenticated Registration Request message. The HA registers the MN when the preset number is included in the authenticated Registration Request message.

6. An authentication method for safe communication between a home agent (HA) and a mobile node (MN) in a wireless communication system including the HA, a foreign agent (FA) connected to the MN assigned a Mobile IP address, and first and second servers provided respectively to the HA and the FA for authentication, comprising the steps of:
-
upon receiving a Registration Request message from the MN, generating by the FA an Access Request message and transmitting to the first server through the second server the generated Access Request message;
upon receiving the Access Request message, generating by the first server a first authentication shared key with a preset number and transmitting to the FA through the second server the generated first authentication shared key;
authenticating by the FA the Registration Request message according to the first authentication shared key and transmitting to the HA the authenticated Registration Request message;
determining by the HA whether the preset number is included in the authenticated Registration Request message;
transmitting from the HA to the first server a message requesting the preset number, when the preset number is not included in the authenticated Registration Request message;
transmitting to the HA the requested preset number from the first server; and
generating by the HA a second authentication shared key with the preset number transmitted from the first server and registering the MN. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
