Abstract: In an all-IP environment, the concept of context transfer is used to provide seamless secure handovers between different administrative domains. However, the utilization of context transfer arises some privacy issues concerning the location and movement of users roaming between domains. In this paper we elaborate on these privacy issues and propose an alternative context transfer protocol that protects user’ location privacy as well. In addition, assuming that the context carries a user identity in the form of a Network Access Identifier (NAI), we show how the employment of temporary NAIs can further increase the privacy of our scheme.
