Abstract:
Privacy is an important issue for many governments [eurolaw] and
users where its importance becomes more evident every day. Nodes
might change their IP addresses frequently in order to avoid being
tracked by attackers and which also results in the prevention of
information being leaked from their nodes. In IPv6 networks there is
currently one solution for maintaining privacy for nodes when IPv6
StateLess Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC) (RFC 4662) is used.
Unfortunately this solution, i.e., Privacy Extension (RFC 4941), has
some problems, such as not generating a new Interface ID (IID) after
changing the router prefix. The RFC also gives no explanation as to
how to use CGA in its randomizing solution. The purpose of this
document is to address these issues and to update the current RFC.
