Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGAs): A survey and an analysis of performance for use in mobile environment

CGAs are cryptographically generated IPv6 addresses and are one of the most novel features introduced in IPv6. They have the promising potential of being the basis of authentication mechanisms for Mobile IPv6 because they do not require hosts to share information or security infrastructure. A mobil...
