IPv6 Security Vulnerabilities

Open publisher page 16 citations

Abstract

Abstract- Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the newest version of the protocol that is used for communications on the Internet. This version has been in existence for many years. But, currently many organizations have slowed their migration to IPv6 because they realize that the security considerations and products for IPv6 might be insufficient, despite the fact that the network infrastructure is ready to support IPv6 transport. They realize that they cannot deploy IPv6 without considering the security of this protocol at first. IPv6 security vulnerabilities currently exist, and as the popularity of the IPv6 increases, so do the number of threats. This paper covers and reviews some of the fundamental vulnerabilities topics of IPv6 security, considerations, issues and threats. At the end, it summarizes some of the most common security concerns the new suite of protocols creates.
