Abstract :
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the newest version of the protocol that is used for communications on the Internet. And it has been in existence for many years. But, currently many organizations have slowed their migration to IPv6 because they realize that the security considerations and products for IPv6 might be insufficient, they realize that they cannot deploy IPv6 without first considering the security of this protocol. IPv6 security vulnerabilities currently exist, and as the popularity of the IPv6 protocol increases, so do the number of threats. This paper covers and reviews some of the fundamental mitigating techniques for vulnerabilities topics of IPv6 security and threats. At the end, it concludes summarizing some of the most common security concerns the new suite of protocols creates.
