Title:
IPsec Based Secure Mobile Networking Technologies: A Performance Comparison

Abstract:
Organizations commonly rely on VPN technology to provide secure remote access to their private intranets. At the present also several smart phone products support VPN. This has generated a requirement to further develop the overall mobility of the available VPN solutions.

The objective of this thesis was to compare the performance of two mobile protocols that can be used in association with the VPN and give a recommendation of the preferred protocol. The compared protocols were MOBIKE and Mobile IP. The basis of the comparison was formed by four typical mobile phone use cases.

The comparison was made purely based on the published protocol specifications. First the relative performance of the studied protocols was evaluated in individual protocol operations like connection tearup and teardown. After this an analysis was made, how the protocol performance differences in the individual protocol operations reflect to the overall performance in the given use cases.
