Providing security using IKEv2 in a vehicular network based on WiMAX technology

This paper describes how mobility and security services are provided together in a vehicular scenario based on WiMAX technology. MIPv6 and IKEv2 protocols have been chosen for this purpose, in particular the “Mip6d” and “OpenIKEv2” implementations respectively. But this cooperation is performed in a different way as usual, because they also implement an access control mechanism for visited networks. This mechanism is based on the EAP protocol, that let us change the authentication method and test their different behaviours in a mobility scenario. “OpenIKEv2” has been developed in the University of Murcia. For this reason, all changes preformed in order to interoperate with “Mip6d” have been performed in our IKEv2 implementation.
