1. Introduction
The Mobile Node Identifier Option for MIPv6 [RFC4283] has proved to
be a popular design tool for providing identifiers for mobile nodes
during authentication procedures with AAA protocols such as Diameter
[RFC3588]. To date, only a single type of identifier has been
specified, namely the MN NAI. Other types of identifiers are in
common use, and even referenced in RFC 4283. In this document, we
propose adding some basic types that are defined in various
telecommunications standards, including types for IMSI
[ThreeGPP-IDS], P-TMSI [ThreeGPP-IDS], IMEI [ThreeGPP-IDS], and GUTI
[ThreeGPP-IDS]. In addition, we include IEEE MAC-layer addresses the
IPv6 address itself as a legitimate mobile node identifier. Defining
identifiers that are tied to the physical elements of the device
(RFID, MAC address etc.) help in deployment of Mobile IP because in
many cases such identifiers are the most natural means for uniquely
identifying the device, and will avoid additional look-up steps that
might be needed if other identifiers were used.
2. New Mobile Node Identifier Types
The following types of identifiers are commonly used to identify
mobile nodes. For each type, references are provided with full
details on the format of the type of identifer.
The Tag Data standard promoted by Electronic Product Code(TM)
(abbreviated EPC) supports several encoding systems or schemes
including
o RFID-GID (Global Identifier),
o RFID-SGTIN (Serialized Global Trade Item Number),
o RFID-SSCC (Serial Shipping Container),
o RFID-GLN (Global Location Number),
o RFID-GRAI (Global Returnable Asset Identifier),
o RFID-DOD (Department of Defense ID), and
o RFID-GIAI (Global Individual Asset Identifier).

Internet-Draft MN Identifier Types for RFC 4283 October 2015
For each RFID scheme except GID, there are two variations: a 64-bit
scheme (for example, GLN-64) and a 96-bit scheme (GLN-96). GID has
only a 96-bit scheme. Within each scheme, an EPC identifier can be
represented in a binary form or other forms such as URI.
The following list includes the above RFID types as well as various
other common identifiers and several different types of DUIDs.

3. Security Considerations
This document does not introduce any security mechanisms, and does
not have any impact on existing security mechanisms. Insofar as the
selection of a security association may be dependent on the exact
form of a mobile node identifier, additional specification may be
necessary when the new identifier types are employed with the general
AAA mechanisms for mobile node authorizations.
Some identifiers (e.g., IMSI) are considered to be private
information. If used in the MNID extension as defined in this
document, the packet including the MNID extension should be encrypted
so that personal information or trackable identifiers would not be
inadvertently disclosed to passive observers. Operators can
potentially apply IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) with
confidentiality and integrity protection for protecting the location
information.
Moreover, MNIDs containing sensitive identifiers might only be used
for signaling during initial network entry. Subsequent binding
update exchanges might then rely on a temporary identifier allocated
during the initial network entry, perhaps using mechanisms not
standardized within the IETF. Managing the association between long-

lived and temporary identifiers is outside the scope of this
document.
4. IANA Considerations
The new mobile node identifier types defined in the document should
be assigned values from the "Mobile Node Identifier Option Subtypes"
registry. The following values should be assigned.
