Title : IPv6 Transition/Co-existence Security Considerations
Author(s) : P. Savola
Filename : draft-savola-v6ops-security-overview-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2003-6-20
The transition/co-existance from IPv4 to IPv4/IPv6 causes one to
consider the security considerations of such a process. In this
memo, I try to give an overview of different aspects relating to
IPv6: the notion of increased end-to-end transparency, implications
of tunneling, the use of IPv4-mapped addresses, the considerations of
IPv6 service piloting without firewalls, IPv6 protocol-specific
issues, IPv6 transition/co-existence mechanism -specific issues,
consequences of enabling IPv6 by default, and operational security
issues when enabling IPv6 in the network infrastructure.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-savola-v6ops-security-overview-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
