Summary:
|
IPv6 is intended to provide many built-in benefits such as large address space, mobility, and quality of service (QoS). Because it is a new protocol and operates in some different ways than IPv4, both foreseeable and unforeseeable security issues are likely to arise. Many new functions or requirements of IPv6, i.e., automatic configuration of interfaces, mandatory IPsec, mandatory multicast, multiple IP addresses and many new rules for routing, can be abused for compromising computer systems or networks.
Considering the above circumstance, this Recommendation provides a set of technical security guides for telecommunications organizations to implement and deploy IPv6 environment. This Recommendation focuses on how to securely deploy network facilities for telecommunications organizations and how to ensure security operations for IPv6 environment.
