[ipv6hackers] Deprecating EUI-64 Based IPv6 Addresses (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-gont-6man-deprecate-eui64-based-addresses-00.txt)

[Fernando Gont]

Folks,

We have posted a new I-D entitled "Deprecating EUI-64 Based IPv6
Addresses"
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gont-6man-deprecate-eui64-based-addresses-00.txt).

It's a spin-off of the work we've been doing on IPv6 addressing
secuity/privacy considerations
(draft-ietf-6man-ipv6-address-generation-privacy and
draft-ietf-6man-stable-privacy-addresses), and the idea had already been
discussed among several folks mstly off-list and at IETF meeting corridors.

Any comments will be appreciated. If possible, post any feedback to
<6man at ietf.org> (and CC me).

Thanks!

Best regards,
Fernando

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.





Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
