IoT: Security and Mobility in IPv6

The IoT is evolving into a more present, mobile, and secure ecosystem, supported by the Internet. However, all elements are addressable by IPv6, and they hold all relevant IP protocols such as the mobility protocol MIPv6 and the security protocol IPsec. It is not possible that all objects and resources integrated in IoT ecosystems are associated with these protocols designed according to device considerations. The IPv6 protocol defines the home agent or mother agent (MIPv6), which contains the association table of all the mobiles visiting the network and is provided by the security mechanism called IPsec. The MIPv6 protocol is designed to manage mobility in IPv6 networks with IPsec.
