Abstract:
Privacy is an important issue concerning many governments and users
with its importance becoming more evident every day. Nodes might
change their IP addresses frequently in order to avoid being tracked
by attackers. This frequent IP address change also helps in the
prevention of information being leaked by nodes. In IPv6 networks
there is currently one solution to maintain the privacy of nodes when
IPv6 StateLess Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC) (RFC 4662) is used.
Unfortunately there are some problems associated with this solution
which entails the use of the Privacy Extension (RFC 4941). Some of
these problems are not generating a new Interface ID (IID) after
changing the router prefix, the fact that nodes may use an IID that
was generated based on a MAC address and use this in their response,
the act of cutting the current connections to other nodes if the max
lifetime of the old IID has elapsed, and a need to have stable
storage for generating a randomized IID. The RFC also gives no
explanation as to how to use CGA in its randomizing solution when
stable storage is not available. The purpose of this document is to
address these issues and to update the current RFC.
