Questioning IPv6 Security
by Laura DeNardis, Ph.D.
Published July 2006; Posted December 2006
Abstract:
IPv6 requires IPSec, so it’s more
secure than IPv4, right? Wrong and wrong.
One commonly cited rationale for upgrading to IPv6 is the claim that the newer
Internet Protocol provides vastly improved security over IPv4. This article
describes how conceptions of IPv6 as more secure than IPv4 are somewhat
misleading and how implementation realities indicate that IPv6 can actually
create a less secure enterprise network environment.
