Abstract:
Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) for IPv6 typically
results in hosts configuring one or more stable addresses composed of
a network prefix advertised by a local router, and an Interface
Identifier that typically embeds a hardware address (e.g., an IEEE
LAN MAC address). The security and privacy implications of embedding
hardware addresses in the Interface Identifier have been known and
understood for some time now, and some popular IPv6 implementations
have already deviated from such scheme to mitigate these issues.
This document deprecates the use of hardware addresses in IPv6
Interface Identifiers, and recommends the use of an alternative
scheme ([I-D.ietf-6man-stable-privacy-addresses]) for the generation
of IPv6 stable addresses.
