Abstract :
The internet protocol version 6 was developed to extend and eventually replace IPV4s capabilities but it poses several significant security issues. The stress in this paper is to identify the vulnerabilities that come in IPV6 and how to remove those vulnerabilities. The default method for IPv6 address generation uses an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) assigned by the IEEE Standards Association and an Extension Identifier assigned by the hardware manufacturer. For this reason a node will always have the same Interface ID whenever it connects to a new network. Because the nodes IP address does not change, the node will be vulnerable to privacy related attacks. To remove this issue along with other vulnerabilities I will use a mechanism that randomizing the interface ID during its generation and more importantly, the verification process. The interface ID is also enciphered by using Advance Encryption Standard (AES). To enhance the security cryptographic algorithm Diffie Hellman for authentication and AES algorithm for encryption and decryption process is used both for the address of IPV6 as well as the message generated by the sender and receiver using the services of IPV6. In the proposed method both the combination of AES and Diffie Hellman is used to ensure authenticity and remove susceptibility. The proposed method is implemented in C# on .NET platform to realize the method.
