Abstract
A system and method are described for providing biometric authentication to mobile nodes, such as mobile nodes seeking a mobile Internet protocol (mobile IP) connection to a network. The mobile node sends a registration request that includes biometric data. If the biometric data is authenticated, the mobile node is provided with a network address, such as an IP address, to use in network communications.
