| Summary: | It is well known that the most promising
approach to solving the problem of authentication in a
mobile IPv6 network is to use CGA-based authentication.
The only drawback is that CGA algorithms can be
computationally expensive. This study analyses the
performance of the CGA generation algorithm and proposes
changes to impose a minimal computational security while
maintaining reasonable performance. This study also
compares the use of Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA)
signatures with the Merkle Signature Scheme (MSS) for
generating CGA Signatures. It finds that using MSS
significantly improves the key generation time. However,
more work needs to be done to improve both the CGA
generation algorithm and MSS in order to make CGA-based
authentication an attractive option in MIPv6 setups. |
