Dear all, I explained the purpose of this draft in my last message to the list ( You can find it here http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipv6/current/msg17718.html ). I upload this draft which addresses the problems in rfc 4941. I would appreciate your comments. Share your ideas as to whether or not you find it useful.
Thanks, Best, Hosnieh Filename: draft-rafiee-6man-ra-privacy Revision: 00 Title: Router Advertisement based privacy extension in IPv6 autoconfiguration Creation date: 2013-05-02 Group: Individual Submission Number of pages: 6 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rafiee-6man-ra-privacy-00.txt Status: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rafiee-6man-ra-privacy Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rafiee-6man-ra-privacy-00 Abstract: Privacy is an important issue for many governments and users where its importance becomes more evident every day. Nodes might change their IP addresses frequently in order to avoid being tracked by attackers and which also results in the prevention of information being leaked from their nodes. In IPv6 networks there is currently one solution for maintaining privacy for nodes when IPv6 StateLess Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC) (RFC-4662) is used. Unfortunately this solution, i.e., Privacy Extension (RFC-4941), has some problems, such as not generating a new Interface ID (IID) after changing the router prefix. The RFC also gives no explanation as to how to use CGA in its randomizing solution. The purpose of this document is to address these issues and to update the current RFC.
