Dear all,
 
I have a question regarding the MN's verification of SKey ;received from the CN.
In Step 4 of Initial Binding Update, how can the MN verify that the SKey
in BA is sent from the real CN not from an attacker? 
 
If the Kbmperm is made by means of a method that only the CN knows,
an attacker could also generate a random number to claim to be a Kbmperm.
The attacker-made Kbmperm could also be encrypted with the MN's public key
as is the case of the CN-made Kbmperm.
If the attacker-made Kbmperm arrives at the MN before the Kbmperm from the CN arrives,
the MN will have the attacker-made Kbmperm which is not what the actual CN has.
Then, I think, it would not be able to send Binding Update to the CN afterwards.
Am I missing something?
 
 
Regards,
Manhee
