Mobile IP (Internet Protocol) brings together two of the world's most powerful technology trends: the Internet and mobile communications. This is the first book to clearly explain what Mobile IP is, how it works, and the security implications of its use. "This could become the Mobile IP "bible"... -- Gabriel Montenegro, Sun Microsystems. Mobile IP: The Internet Unplugged reviews the problems Mobile IP is designed to solve, and how it solves them. It shows how to use Mobile IP in real-world campus and Internet-wide applications, and reviews the state-of-the-art in Mobile IP network security -- including the role of key management, encryption, authentication, integrity checking and non-repudiation. There is also detailed coverage of essential concepts including agent discovery, registration, IP encapsulation. The book also presents models for delivering commercial service using Mobile IP, and reviews the technical issues that still need attention. Part of the Prentice Hall Series in Computer Networking and Distributed Systems, Radia Perlman, Series Editor. For anyone interested in mobile internetworking as an implementer, network manager, architect, service provider, or student.
