A mobile node that is in communication with a correspondent node via a home agent initiates a process for establishing a route optimized mode of communication between the mobile node and the correspondent node. The mobile node sends a first initiating message to the home agent for delivery to the correspondent node and sends a second initiating message directly to the correspondent node. The mobile node secures the first initiating message by including an initiating-message authentication code that can be validated by the home agent or by an authentication server. The correspondent node responds by sending a first responsive message to the home agent for delivery to the mobile node and by sending a second responsive message directly to the mobile node. The home agent secures the first responsive message by adding a responsive-message authentication code that can be validated by the mobile node.
