INFRASTRUCTURE-LESS BOOTSTRAPPING: TRUSTLESS BOOTSTRAPPING TO ENABLE MOBILITY FOR MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. In a Home Agent, a method of supporting a session in Mobile IP, comprising:
- receiving a first Mobile IP message identifying a Mobile Node from the Mobile Node, wherein the first Mobile IP message indicates to the Home Agent that the Mobile Node is requesting dynamic configuration of a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Mobile Node and the Home Agent during the session;
obtaining a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session from the first Mobile IP message or generating the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session, wherein the Mobile-Home authentication key is not valid after the session has ended or during another session; and
sending a second Mobile IP message identifying the Home Agent to the Mobile Node, the second Mobile IP message including a lifetime associated with the session, wherein the lifetime indicates a lifetime of the Mobile-Home authentication key, thereby enabling the Mobile Node to register with the Home Agent using a home address and the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for supporting a session in Mobile IP are disclosed. A Mobile Node sends a first Mobile IP message identifying the Mobile Node to a Home Agent, wherein the first Mobile IP message indicates to the Home Agent that the Mobile Node is requesting dynamic configuration of a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Mobile Node and the Home Agent during the session. A Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node is obtained or generated by the Mobile Node and the Home Agent, where the Mobile-Home authentication key is not valid after the session has ended or during another session. The Home Agent sends a second Mobile IP message to the Mobile Node, the second Mobile IP message including a lifetime associated with the session, wherein the lifetime indicates a lifetime of the key, thereby enabling the Mobile Node to register with the Home Agent using the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session.

26. In a Mobile Node, a method, comprising:
-
sending a first Mobile IP message identifying the Mobile Node to a Home Agent, wherein the first Mobile IP message indicates to the Home Agent that the Mobile Node is initiating dynamic configuration of a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Mobile Node and the Home Agent during a session; receiving a second Mobile IP message identifying the Mobile Node from the Home Agent, the second Mobile IP message including a lifetime associated with the session, wherein the lifetime indicates a lifetime of the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node, thereby enabling the Mobile Node to register with the Home Agent using the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node, wherein the Mobile-Home authentication key is not valid after the session has ended or during another session; and obtaining the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session from the second Mobile IP message or generating the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A computer-readable medium storing thereon computer-readable instructions for supporting a session in Mobile IP in a Home Agent, comprising:
-
instructions for receiving a first Mobile IP message identifying a Mobile Node from the Mobile Node, wherein the first Mobile IP message indicates to the Home Agent that the Mobile Node is requesting dynamic configuration of a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Mobile Node and the Home Agent during the session; instructions for obtaining a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session from the first Mobile IP message or generating the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session, wherein the Mobile-Home authentication key is not valid after the session has ended or during another session; instructions for sending a second Mobile IP message identifying the Home Agent to the Mobile Node, the second Mobile IP message including a lifetime associated with the session, wherein the lifetime indicates a lifetime of the Mobile-Home authentication key, thereby enabling the Mobile Node to register with the Home Agent using the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session.

46. A Home Agent adapted for supporting a session in Mobile IP, comprising:
-
means for receiving a first Mobile IP message identifying a Mobile Node from the Mobile Node, wherein the first Mobile IP message indicates to the Home Agent that the Mobile Node is requesting dynamic configuration of a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Mobile Node and the Home Agent during the session; means for obtaining a Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session from the first Mobile IP message or generating the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session, wherein the Mobile-Home authentication key is not valid after the session has ended or during another session; means for sending a second Mobile IP message identifying the Home Agent to the Mobile Node, the second Mobile IP message including a lifetime associated with the session, wherein the lifetime indicates a lifetime of the Mobile-Home authentication key, thereby enabling the Mobile Node to register with the Home Agent using the Mobile-Home authentication key to be shared between the Home Agent and the Mobile Node during the session.
