Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6
draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-00
Abstract
Nodes use IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to generate
addresses using a combination of locally available information and
information advertised by routers. Addresses are formed by combining
network prefixes with an interface identifier. This document
describes an extension that causes nodes to generate global scope
addresses from interface identifiers that change over time. Changing
the interface identifier (and the global scope addresses generated
from it) over time makes it more difficult for eavesdroppers and
other information collectors to identify when different addresses
used in different transactions actually correspond to the same node.
