Security

Features in
IPV6
Introductio
n to IPV6
IPV6 offers enhanced security
features such as IPsec to protect
against malicious attacks. It also
includes a built-in encryption
feature for added protection.
Challenges
with IPV4

IPv6 offers enhanced security

features, including built-in IPSec
encryption and improved
address allocation, to better
protect networks from threats.
Security
issues with
IPV4
IPV6 offers improved security
features including built-in IPsec
protocol that encrypts traffic and
prevents spoofing attacks. It also
has a larger address space that
reduces the need for NAT, which
can introduce security concerns.
Overview of Security
Features in IPV6
IPV6 offers encryption through IPsec, which
authenticates and encrypts data packets, and
HMAC-SHA, which provides data integrity. It also
includes a built-in firewall.
 Authentication
Headers
Authentication Headers (AH) provides data integrity and
authentication.

AH works in the transport layer of the OSI model.

It can protect against replay attacks and snooping of data

packets.
 Encapsulating Security
Payload

Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) provides

confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data.

ESP encrypts the entire IP packet, including the header and

payload.

ESP can be used in conjunction with Authentication Header

(AH) for added security.
 Secure Neighbor
Discovery
Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) is a key security feature
in IPv6.

Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) protocol adds additional

security.

Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA) provide secure

address configuration.
Benefi ts of IPV6
Security Features
IPv6 offers improved security features such as IPsec,
improved encryption, and better authentication,
providing a safer and more secure internet
experience.

Security
Features
Introduction
to IPV6
IPV6 offers improved security with features like
IPsec, Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND), and
Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA).
 IPV6
SECURITY
FEATURES
IPsec: encrypts the traffic and provides
secure communication.

Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND): provides secure

address and configuration discovery.

Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA): provides

secure address configuration for devices and users.
IPsec
IPsec provides secure communication over an
IPv6 network, ensuring confidentiality, integrity,
and authentication of data transmitted.
Access
Contro
l
IPv6 access control provides security features such as
packet filtering, network layer encryption, and secure
neighbor discovery to protect against cyber threats and
unauthorized access.
Encryption
IPV6 includes built-in encryption features,
including IPsec and Internet Key Exchange (IKE), to
ensure secure communication and data transfer.
Conclusio
n
IPv6 provides enhanced security features such as IPsec,
improved address management, and Secure Neighbor
Discovery. These features help protect against attacks
and enhance network security, making it a reliable
choice for businesses and organizations.
