The mobileip working group is equipped with the RR(Return Routabilit) taking the simple procedures and small amount of cryptographic operations by considering the processing capability of the mobile node however it dose not provide security features enough. To replace with enhanced methods, mobileip WG is making an effort to find the approved solutions include CGA(Craptographically Generated Address), IPsec(Internet Protocol Security) as well as the existing infrastructure such as AAA(Authentication, Authorization and Account) and PKI(Public Key Infrastructure). In this paper, we propose the authentication and route optimization based on AAA suitable for the requested security service for its successful story in wireless network such as 802.11 and 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) as well as wired one. We analyze the effectiveness of our scheme according to the traffic and mobility properties. The result shows the cost reduction up to 20 percent comparing with RR.

A node of mobile IPv6 moving foreign networks needs authentication process to support right services against from security threat. AAA is a trust infrastructure that authenticates, authorizes, and accounts nodes receiving a network service. And Mobile IPv6 Working Group recommends use of AAA infrastructure to authenticate mobile nodes. Event though AAA infrastructure provides strong authentication functions, it should exchange a lot of messages to authenticate mobile nodes every movement. The exchange of lots of messages causes latency and it is interfered with realization of real-time communication. This paper proposes an authentication method of improved speed using hash value of mobile node to reduce authentication latency. Directly after movement, a mobile node applying a Proposed method uses extended existing security authentication for a while and deletes the establishment latency of new security authentication. Performance evaluation of a proposed method verifies the efficiency through the analysis of cost comparison with other methods. The conclusion of performance evaluation is that the proposed method gets more 25% performance improvement than a general method when a mobile node moves another subnet.

AAA(Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) is the service that offers authentication, authorization, and accounting method, and every terminal that accesses the network requires this AAA service. The authentication process of a mobile terminal is as follows: a mobile phone accesses an authentication server in a home network via the authentication service in an external network, which receives the authentication result. And, for the home authentication server to offer secure service, a unique key is distributed for the secure communication between the external agent and the user, the external agent and the home authentication server, and the user and the home authentication server. This paper discusses and proposes the key distribution for secure communication among external authentication servers when a mobile terminal travels to an external network. As the proposed method does not require the home authentication server to reissue another authentication when a user travels to other external networks, it reduces the overload in the home authentication server. It can also distribute a PIN-driven key.

AAA(Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) protocol is a framework that propose functions of AAA on multiple networks and platforms. AAA protocol is extending from previous RADIUS protocol to Diameter protocol. There are some Diameter applications for variety purpose. Diameter CMS Application makes Diameter messages more secure by using PKI. Diameter CMS Application establish DSA(Diameter Security Association) for end to end security. However the Application has some problems to establish DSA(Diameter Security Association), which can make Diameter system unstable. If one system lose DSA information for some system error - for example, reboot -, the secure communication between two nodes may not be possible. At the application such as MIP, even user registration can't be done. In this paper, we propose a mechannism for DSA re-establishment, and also show the result of the implementation.

Purpose: There was a problem with using MU verification programs for the reasons that there were errors of MU when using MU verification programs based on Pencil Beam Convolution (PBC) Algorithm with radiation treatment plans around lung using Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm (AAA). On this study, we studied the methods that can verify the calculated treatment plans using AAA. Materials and Methods: Using Eclipse treatment planning system (Version 8.9, Varian, USA), for each 57 fields of 7 cases of Lung Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), we have calculated using PBC and AAA with dose calculation algorithm. By developing MU of established plans, we compared and analyzed with MU of manual calculation programs. We have analyzed relationship between errors and 4 variables such as field size, lung path distance of radiation, Tumor path distance of radiation, effective depth that can affect on errors created from PBC algorithm and AAA using commonly used programs. Results: Errors of PBC algorithm have showned $0.2{\pm}1.0%$ and errors of AAA have showned $3.5{\pm}2.8%$. Moreover, as a result of analyzing 4 variables that can affect on errors, relationship in errors between lung path distance and MU, connection coefficient 0.648 (P=0.000) has been increased and we could calculate MU correction factor that is A.E=L.P 0.00903+0.02048 and as a result of replying for manual calculation program, errors of $3.5{\pm}2.8%$ before the application has been decreased within $0.4{\pm}2.0%$. Conclusion: On this study, we have learned that errors from manual calculation program have been increased as lung path distance of radiation increases and we could verified MU of AAA with a simple method that is called MU correction factor.

Acuros XB advanced dose calculation algorithm (AXB, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) has been released recently and provided the advantages of speed and accuracy for dose calculation. For clinical use, it is important to investigate the dosimetric performance of AXB compared to the calculation algorithm of the previous version, Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (AAA, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA). Ten volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for each of the following cases were included: head and neck (H&N), prostate, spine, and lung. The spine and lung cases were treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) technique. For all cases, the dose distributions were calculated using AAA and two dose reporting modes in AXB (dose-to-water, $AXB_w$, and dose-to-medium, $AXB_m$) with same plan parameters. For dosimetric evaluation, the dose-volumetric parameters were calculated for each planning target volume (PTV) and interested normal organs. The differences between AAA and AXB were statistically calculated with paired t-test. As a general trend, $AXB_w$ and $AXB_m$ showed dose underestimation as compared with AAA, which did not exceed within -3.5% and -4.5%, respectively. The maximum dose of PTV calculated by $AXB_w$ and $AXB_m$ was tended to be overestimated with the relative dose difference ranged from 1.6% to 4.6% for all cases. The absolute mean values of the relative dose differences were $1.1{\pm}1.2%$ and $2.0{\pm}1.2%$ when comparing between AAA and $AXB_w$, and AAA and $AXB_m$, respectively. For almost dose-volumetric parameters of PTV, the relative dose differences are statistically significant while there are no statistical significance for normal tissues. Both $AXB_w$ and $AXB_m$ was tended to underestimate dose for PTV and normal tissues compared to AAA. For analyzing two dose reporting modes in AXB, the dose distribution calculated by $AXB_w$ was similar to those of AAA when comparing the dose distributions between AAA and $AXB_m$.

The enterprise service network is composed of internet, intranet and DMZ. The design rationale of Mobile IP is providing of seamless mobility transparency without regarding to the type of network topology and services. However, Mobile IP specification does not include the mobility support in case of using VPN environment and define the access scenarios to get into the VPN intranet without disturbing existing security policy. In this paper, we propose an authentication method using AAA infrastructure and keying material exchange to enable an user in internet to be able to access the intranet through the VPN gateway. Finally, performance analysis for the proposed scheme is provided.

Authentication for inter-NEMO rooming is on important issue for achieving the seamless mobile networking. In this proposal, the technical challenge lies in the fact that a visited network does not initially have the authentication credentials of a roaming mobile router. This paper proposes an efficient approach for providing AAA service in NEMO environment. This approach uses localized authentication based on the roaming agreement between ISPs. A public key certificate structure is proposed, tailored to the business model of wireless internet Service Providers (ISPs). In this approach, the mutual authentication between a visited network and a roaming user can be performed locally without any control with user's home network. In conclusion, our protocol shown that communication delay can be reduced by overuse 45% overhead in communication delay than the previous AAA approach.

IMT-2000 technologies are divided 3G packet data system that using mobile IP and GPRS that based on the GSM networks. These technologies Push introduce mobile IP to support seamless roaming. In mobile If environments, use AAA server such as RADIUS or DIAMETER to provide authentication service for dial-up computers. This factor is important for mobile nodes. Mobile If require strong authentication between mobile nodes and home agents. We propose application of AAA protocols for smooth handoff mechanism in IMT-2000 environments.

In the unhydrated and hydrated states, conformational free energies of L-ascorbic acid anion (AAA) were computed with an empirical potential function and the hydration shell model (a program CONBIO). The conformational energy was minimized from possible starting conformations expressed with five torsion angles of the molecule. The conformational entropy of each low energy conformation in both states was computed using a harmonic approximation. As found in L-ascorbic acid (AA), intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) are proved to be of significant importance in stabilizing the overall conformations of AAA in both states, and give the folded conformations, which are quite different from those in crystal. There are competitions between HBs and hydration around O3 atom of the lactone ring and hydroxyls of the acyclic side chain. Especially, the whole conformation of AAA is strongly dependent on the water-accessibility of O3 atom. Though there is a significant effect of the hydration on conformational surface, the lowest energy conformation of the unhydrated AAA is conserved. The different patterns of HBs and hydration result in the conformations of AAA in both states being different from those of AA. It can be drawn by several feasible conformations obtained in the hydrated state that there exists an ensemble of several conformations in aqueous solution.
