Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving a first request to configure a dynamic address pair for use in a communications session between a mobile node device and a home agent device having at least one static address, wherein the dynamic address pair comprises: configuring the dynamic home agent address as a loopback address of the home agent device, that is associated with the dynamic home address of the mobile node device; establishing a first tunnel between the dynamic home agent address and the dynamic home address for exchanging data between the home agent device and the mobile node device without the mobile node device having knowledge of the at least one static address of the home agent device, including negotiating a session lifetime for the communications session and in which the mobile node device may be bound to the home agent device, establishing a binding between the dynamic home agent address and the dynamic home address, and initiating a session timer to monitor the session lifetime; and transmitting a second request for the mobile node device to discard the dynamic home agent address and the dynamic home address after the communications session has ended, thereby safeguarding the home agent device from brute-force attacks by the mobile node device.
