Mobile IPv6 defines a set of signaling messages that enable the
mobile node (MN) to authenticate and perform registration with its
home agent (HA).  These authentication signaling messages between the
mobile node and home agent are secured by an IPsec SA that is
established between the MN and HA.  The MIP6 working group has
specified a mechanism to secure the binding update and binding
acknowledgement messages using an authentication option, similar to
the authentication option in Mobile IPv4, carried within the
signaling messages that are exchanged between the MN and HA to
establish a binding.  This document provides the justifications as to
why the authentication option mechanism was needed for Mobile IPv6
deployment in certain environments.
