Seeking IPv6 Security Resources

Wed Nov 26 13:54:07 UTC 2014

Chris,

Are you aware IPv6 has 3 or arguably 4 major generations of standards?

Each generation requires nuanced defense strategies, based on which clauses
("must" and "should") were implemented. Some of the derived security works,
do not reflect, and in some cases contradict current security
recommendations. The perceived newness of the technology, and ambiguities
of recommendations have resulted in 'pushback' by the security community to
implement IPv6. This has forced us to continue with the implement of IPv6
and 'trust' the vender recommendations, based on the limitations of that
venders products.

In the cracks, between the standards and implementation of these standards,
are where security vulnerabilities exist, compromises lay, and defenses
crumble.
