Mobile IP brings together two of the world's most powerful technology trends: the Internet and mobile communications. Whether you're planning to develop, deploy, utilize, or invest in Mobile IP networks, this book delivers the up-to-date information you need-with clarity and insight. Discover:

What problems Mobile IP is designed to solve, and how it solves them
How to use Mobile IP in real-world intranet and Internet-wide applications
How to manage the security issues associated with Mobile IP
Business models for delivering commercial Mobile IP services
Which technical issues still need work-and possible solutions In Mobile IP: The Internet Unplugged, the co-chair of the Mobile IP Working Group offers an insider's view of critical Mobile IP concepts like agent discovery, registration, and IP encapsulation. He presents detailed coverage of Mobile IP security, including the role of key management, encryption, authentication, integrity checking, and nonrepudiation. Finally, he presents a compelling vision of the future, where the benefits of standards-based mobile data are available everywhere.

Résumé
TCP/IP goes mobile, and here is the complete, up-to-date tutorial on Mobile IP for both technical and business professionals. The book shows how to use Mobile IP in real-world campus and Internet-wide applications and reviews the state-of-the-art in Mobile IP network security.
