Abstract:
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a 17 characters
alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a vehicle worldwide. This
code is standardized in ISO-3779 and ISO-3780; other standardization
bodies' implementation of this code (NHTSA, SAE) is compliant with
ISO standards. The VIN is mandatory for each vehicle and used as a
unique identity. Some public information related to a vehicle can be
obtained knowing its VIN code.
An IPv6 address is 128 bit in length and its rightmost bits form the
Interface Identifier (IID). When the IPv6 address is used with IPv6-
over-Ethernet and Stateless Address Auto-Configuration, the length of
the IID is 64 bit.
This document presents an experimental method to convert an IPv6
Interface Identifier starting from the VIN code - the VIID. The
conversion can be reverted - given a VIID formed from a VIN it easily
possible to find out the original VIN.
