Date: Sun Jun 11 15:03:25 2006 From: tim-security at sentinelchicken.org (Tim) Subject: IPv6 Address Cookies Hello, I finished up my master's thesis in April, and thought a few of you might be interested in the paper. Abstract It has long been known to researchers that address spoofing on the Internet is a serious problem. While a great deal of effort has been put into finding theoretical and practical solutions, spoofed attacks are still globally endemic. They represent a simple nuisance to many, but a business-halting bane to others. Enter IPv6. IPv6 is the next generation of the Internet protocol designed to alleviate the existing global address shortage and improve the scalability and extensibility of the aging IPv4 protocol. This new protocol provides an enormous 128-bit address space, which should provide enough addresses for several decades, if not centuries, of Internet expansion. In this paper, we propose methods which utilize the large IPv6 address space to mitigate spoofed attacks.
