IPv6 IPv4 Threat Comparison
Speakers:
Sean Convery, Cisco
Darrin Miller, Cisco Systems
IPv6 is seeing increased deployments worldwide and is expected to ramp up significantly with the U.S. Department of Defense mandate of IPv6 by 2008. Much of the existing security discussion around IPv6 has focused on its inclusion of IPsec. While the confidentiality, integrity, and authentication features of IPsec are clearly useful, IPSec deployment will suffer many of the same deployment challenges as are currently seen in IPv4 (identity, key management, and configuration issues).
This session will present IPv6 security as contrasted with IPv4 from a threats perspective. Common threats you may be familiar with in IPv4 will be compared to how those threats may evolve in IPv6 and what new considerations or best practices will be necessary to mitigate these threats. Potential best practices for the use of IPv6 in a dual-stack mode in an enterprise Internet edge will be presented as well.
