Replay Time Stamp

Specify the replay protection time stamp (in seconds) to protect the

 

registration packets from replay attacks. The time stamp validates

 

the incoming packets to ensure that they are not being replayed by

 

a hacker. The time stamp allows the sender and receiver to be

 

synchronized. The range is from 1 to 255. If a registration fails

 

because the time stamp value is out of bounds, the Home Agent

 

returns its timestamp so the mobile node can re-register with a

 

timestamp value that is closer to the that of the Home Agent, if

 

desired.

 

 

Enable Authentication

(Optional) Choose the Enable Authentication check box to enable

 

authentication and select an authentication algorithm.

 

 

Select Authentication Algorithm

(Optional) Select an authentication algorithm to authenticate

 

messages during registration.

 

You can select md5 (message–digest 5) orhmac–md5(HMAC

 

used with MD5, where HMAC is a mechanism for message

 

authentication that uses cryptographic hash functions)

 

authentication algorithm.

 

 

Ignore SPI

(Optional) Select the Ignore SPI check box to disable the

 

authentication of a home agent that uses SPI. This check box is

 

enabled only for Home Agents.
