Analysing and improving the performance and security of the cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) algorithm for mobile IPv6 networks

Analysing and improving the performance and security of the cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) algorithm for mobile IPv6 networks

A Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) is a self-certifying address that a node can generate when it joins a foreign network. Despite its advantages, generating CGAs is computationally expensive. This study examines the security and performance issues surrounding the CGA generation algorithm. I...
