1.  Introduction

   IPv6 hosts typically configure a number of IPv6 addresses, which may
   differ in multiple aspects, such as address scope and stability (e.g.
   stable addresses vs.  temporary addresses).  For example, a host may
   configure one stable and one temporary address per each
   autoconfiguration prefix advertised on the local network.  The
   addresses to be configured typically depend on local system policy
   configuration, with the aforementioned policy being static and
   irrespective of the network the host attaches to.

   There are three parameters that affect the security and privacy
   properties of an address:

   o  Scope

   o  Stability

Internet-Draft        IPv6 Address Recommendations            March 2017


   o  Usage type (client-like "outgoing connections" vs. server-like
      "incoming connections")

   Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, and Section 7 discuss the security
   and privacy implications (and associated tradeoffs) of the scope,
   stability and usage type properties of IPv6 addresses, respectively.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

3.  Problem Statement

   Applications use system API's to select the IPv6 addresses that will
   be used for incoming and outgoing connections.  This choices have
   consequences in terms of privacy, security, stability and
   performance.

   Default Address Selection for IPv6 is specified in [RFC6724].  The
   selection starts with a set of potential destination addresses, such
   as returned by getaddrinfo(), and the set of potential source
   addresses currently configured for the selected interfaces.  For each
   potential destination address, the algorithm will select the source
   address that provides the best route to the destination, while
   choosing the appropriate scope and preferring temporary addresses.
   The algorithm will then select the destination address, while giving
   a preference to reachable addresses with the smallest scope.  The
   selection may be affected by system settings.

   We note that [RFC6724] only applies for outgoing connections, such as
   those made by clients trying to contact services.  When devices
   provide a service, the common pattern is to just wait for connections
   over all addresses configured on the device.  For example,
   applications using the Sockets API will commonly bind() the listening
   socket to undefined address.  This long-established behavior is
   appropriate for devices providing public services, but may have
   unexpected results for devices providing semi-private services, such
   as various forms of peer-to-peer or local-only applications.

   This behavior leads to three problems: device tracking, discussed in
   Section 3.1; unexpected address discovery, discussed in Section 3.2;
   and availability outside the expected scope, discussed in
   Section 3.3.  These problems are caused in part by the limitations of
   available address selection API, presented in Section 3.4.

Internet-Draft        IPv6 Address Recommendations            March 2017


3.1.  Testing for the Presence of Node in the Network

   The stable addresses recommended in [RFC8064] use stable IID defined
   in [RFC7217].  One key part of that algorithm is that if a device
   connects to a given network at different times, it will always
   configure the same IPv6 addresses on that network.  If the device
   hosts a service ready to accept connections on that stable address,
   adversaries can test the presence of the device on the network by
   attempting connections to that stable address.  Stable addresses used
   by listening services will thus enable testing whether a specific
   device is returning to a particular network, which in many cases will
   be considered a privacy issue.

3.2.  Unexpected Address Discovery

   Systems like DNS-Based Service Discovery [RFC6763] allows clients to
   discover services within a limited scope, that can be defined by a
   domain name.  These services are not advertised outside of that
   scope, and thus do not expect to be discovered by random parties on
   the Internet.  Yet it appears that such services are easily
   discoverable if they listen for connections to IPv6 addresses that a
   client process also uses as source address when connecting to remote
   servers.

      An example of such unexpected discovery is described in [Hein].  A
      network manager observed scanning traffic directed at the
      temporary addresses of local devices.  Analysis shows that the
      scanners learned the addresses by observing the device contact an
      NTP service ([RFC5905]).  The remote scanning was possible because
      the local devices were also accepting connections directed to the
      temporary addresses.

   It is obvious from the example that the "attack surface" of the
   services is increased because it listens to the same IPv6 addresses
   that are also used by clients for outgoing communications with remote
   systems.  But the overlap between "client" and "server" addresses is
   only one part of the problem.  Suppose that a devices hosts both a
   video game and a home automation application.  The video game users
   will be able to discover the IPv6 address of the game server.  If the
   home automation server listens to the same IPv6 addresses, it is now
   exposed to connection attempts by all these users.  That, too,
   increases the attack surface of the home automation server.

3.3.  Availability Outside the Expected Scope

   The IPv6 addressing architecture [RFC4291] defines multiple address
   scopes.  In practice, devices are often configured with globally
   reachable unicast addresses, link local addresses, and Unique Local



Gont, et al.           Expires September 14, 2017               [Page 4]


Internet-Draft        IPv6 Address Recommendations            March 2017


   IPv6 Unicast Addresses (ULA) [RFC4193].  Availability outside the
   expected scope happens when a service is expected to be only
   available in some local scope, but inadvertently becomes available to
   remote parties.  That could happen for example if a service is meant
   to be available only on a given link, but becomes reachable through
   ULA or through globally reachable addresses, or if a service is meant
   to be available only inside some organization's perimeter and becomes
   reachable through globally reachable addresses.  It will happen in
   particular if a service intended for some local scope is programmed
   to bind to "unspecified" addresses, which in practice means every
   address configured for the device.

3.4.  Limited Address Selection API

   Application developers using the Sockets API can "bind" a listening
   socket to a specific address, and ensure that the application is only
   reachable through that address.  In theory, careful selection of the
   binding address could mitigate the three problems mentioned above.
   Binding services to temporary address could mitigate device tracking.
   Binding different services to different addresses could mitigate
   unexpected discovery.  Binding services to link local addresses or
   ULA could mitigate availability outside the expected scope.  However,
   explicitly managing addresses adds significant complexity to the
   application development.  It requires that application developers
   master addressing architectures subtleties, and implement logic that
   reacts adequately to connectivity events and address changes.
   Experience shows that application developers would probably prefer
   some much simpler solution.

   In addition, we should note that many application developers use high
   level APIs that listen to TLS, HTTP, or some other application
   protocol.  These high level APIs seldom provide detailed access to
   specific IP addresses, and typically default to listening to all
   available addresses.

4.  Predictability Considerations

   Predictable IPv6 addresses result in a number of security and privacy
   implications.  For example, [Barnes2012] discusses how patterns in
   network prefixes can be leveraged for IPv6 address scanning.  On the
   other hand, [RFC7707], [RFC7721] and [RFC7217] discuss the security
   and privacy implications of predictable IPv6 Interface Identifiers
   (IIDs).

   Given the aforementioned previous work in this area, and the formal
   specification update produced by [RFC8064], we expect (and assume in
   the rest of this document) that implementations have replaced any
   schemes that produce predictable addresses with alternative schemes



Gont, et al.           Expires September 14, 2017               [Page 5]


Internet-Draft        IPv6 Address Recommendations            March 2017


   that avoid such patterns (e.g., RFC7217 in replacement of the
   traditional SLAAC addresses that embed link-layer addresses).

5.  Address Scope Considerations

   The IPv6 address scope can, in some scenarios, limit the attack
   exposure of a node as a result of the implicit isolation provided by
   a non-global address scope.  For example, a node that only employs
   link-local addresses may, in principle, only be exposed to attack
   from other nodes in the local link.  Hosts employing only Unique
   Local Addresses (ULAs) may be more isolated from attack than those
   employing Global Unicast Addresses (GUAs), assuming that proper
   packet filtering is enforced at the network edge.

   The potential protection provided by a non-global addresses should
   not be regarded as a complete security strategy, but rather as a form
   of "prophylactic" security (see
   [I-D.gont-opsawg-firewalls-analysis]).

   We note that the use of non-global addresses is usually limited to a
   reduced type of applications/protocols that e.g. are only meant to
   operate on a reduced scope, and hence their applicability may be
   limited.

   A discussion of ULA usage considerations can be found in
   [I-D.ietf-v6ops-ula-usage-considerations].

6.  Address Stability Considerations

   The stability of an address has two associated security/privacy
   implications:

   o  Ability of an attacker to correlate network activity

   o  Exposure to attack

   For obvious reasons, an address that is employed for multiple
   communication instances allows the aforementioned network activities
   to be correlated.  The longer an address is employed (i.e., the more
   stable it is), the longer such correlation will be possible.  In the
   worst-case scenario, a stable address that is employed for multiple
   communication instances over time will allow all such activities to
   be correlated.  On the other hand, if a host were to generate (and
   eventually "throw away") one new address for each communication
   instance (e.g., TCP connection), network activity correlation would
   be mitigated.





Gont, et al.           Expires September 14, 2017               [Page 6]


Internet-Draft        IPv6 Address Recommendations            March 2017


      NOTE: the use of constant IIDs (as in traditional SLAAC) result in
      addresses that, while not constant as a whole (since the prefix
      changes), contain a globally-unique value that leaks out the node
      "identity".  Such addresses result in the worst possible security
      and privacy implications, and their use has been deprecated by
      [RFC8064].

   Typically, when it comes to attack exposure, the longer an address is
   employed the longer an attacker is exposed to attacks (e.g. an
   attacker has more time to find the address in the first place
   [RFC7707]).  While such exposure is traditionally associated with the
   stability of the address, the usage type of the address (see
   Section 7) may also have an impact on attack exposure.

   A popular approach to mitigate network activity correlation is the
   use of "temporary addresses" [RFC4941].  Temporary addresses are
   typically configured and employed along with stable addresses, with
   the temporary addresses employed for outgoing communications, and the
   stable addresses employed for incoming communications.

      NOTE: Ongoing work [I-D.gont-6man-non-stable-iids] aims at
      updating [RFC4941] such that temporary addresses can be employed
      without the need to configure stable addresses.

   We note that the extent to which temporary addresses provide improved
   mitigation of network activity correlation and/or reduced attack
   exposure may be questionable and/or limited in some scenarios.  For
   example, a temporary address that is reachable for, say, a few hours
   has a questionable "reduced exposure" (particularly when automated
   attack tools do not typically require such a long period of time to
   complete their task).  Similarly, if network activity can be
   correlated for the life of such address (e.g., on the order of
   several hours), such period of time might be long enough for the
   attacker to correlate all the network activity he is meaning to
   correlate.

   In order to better mitigate network activity correlation and/or
   possibly reduce host exposure, an implementation might want to either
   reduce the preferred lifetime of a temporary address, or even better,
   generate one new temporary address for each new transport protocol
   instance.  However, the associated lifetime/stability of an address
   may have a negative impact on the network.  For example, if a node
   were to employ "throw away" IPv6 addresses, or employ temporary
   addresses [RFC4941] with a short preferred lifetime, local nodes
   might need to maintain too many entries in their Neighbor Cache, and
   a number of devices (possibly enforcing security policies) might also
   need to keep such additional state.




Gont, et al.           Expires September 14, 2017               [Page 7]


Internet-Draft        IPv6 Address Recommendations            March 2017


   Additionally, enforcing a maximum lifetime on IPv6 addresses may
   cause long-lived TCP connections to fail.  For example, an address
   becoming "Invalid" (after transitioning through the "Preferred" and
   "Deprecated" states) would cause the TCP connections employing them
   to break.  This, in turn, would cause e.g. long-lived SSH sessions to
   break/fail.

   In some scenarios, attack exposure may be reduced by limiting the
   usage of temporary addresses to outbound connections, and prevent
   such addresses from being used for inbound connections (please see
   Section 7).

7.  Usage Type Considerations

   A node that employs one of its addresses to communicate with an
   external server (i.e., to perform an "outgoing connection") may cause
   such address to become exposed to attack.  For example, once the
   external server receives an incoming connection, the corresponding
   server might launch an attack against the aforementioned address.  A
   real-world instance of this type of scenario has been documented in
   [Hein].

   However, we note that employing an IPv6 address for an outgoing
   communications need not increase the exposure of local services to
   other parties.  For example, nodes could employ temporary addresses
   only for outgoing connections, but not for incoming connections.
   Thus, external nodes that learn about client's addresses could not
   really leverage such addresses for actively contacting the clients.

   There are multiple ways in which this could possibly be achieved,
   with different implications.  Namely:

   o  Run a host-based or network-based firewall

   o  Bind services to specific (explicit) addresses

   o  Bind services only to stable addresses

   A client could simply run a host-based firewall that only allows
   incoming connections on the stable addresses.  This is clearly more
   of an operational way of achieving the desired functionality, and may
   require good firewall/host integration (e.g., the firewall should be
   able to tell stable vs. temporary addresses), may require the client
   to run additional firewall software for this specific purpose, etc.
   In other scenarios, a network-based firewall could be configured to
   allow outgoing communications from all internal addresses, but only
   allow incoming communications to stable addresses.  For obvious




Gont, et al.           Expires September 14, 2017               [Page 8]


Internet-Draft        IPv6 Address Recommendations            March 2017


   reasons, this is generally only applicable to networks where incoming
   communications are allowed to a limited number of hosts/servers.

   Services could be bound to specific (explicit) addresses, rather than
   to all locally-configured addresses.  However, there are a number of
   short-comings associated with this approach.  Firstly, an application
   would need to be able to learn all of its addresses and associated
   stability properties, something that tends to be non-trivial and non-
   portable, and that also makes applications protocol-dependent,
   unnecessarily.  Secondly, the Sockets API does not really allow a
   socket to be bound to a subset of the node's addresses.  That is,
   sockets can be bound to a single address or to all available
   addresses (wildcard), but not to a subset of all the configured
   addresses.

   Binding services only to stable addresses provides a clean separation
   between addresses employed for client-like outgoing connections and
   server-like incoming connections.  However, we currently lack an
   appropriate API for nodes to be able to specify that a socket should
   only be bound to stable addresses.  Development of such an API should
   be considered for future work.

8.  Advice on IPv6 Address Configuration

   [TBD]

   TODO: This section is expected to provide advice regarding the
   configuration of different addresses for different typical scenarios.
   e.g., when nodes may want to configure stable-only, temporary-only,
   or stable+temporary.  In the most simple analysis, one might expect
   nodes in a typical enterprise network to employ only stable
   addresses.  General-purpose nodes in a home or "trusted" network may
   want to employ both stable and temporary addresses.  Finally, mobile
   nodes (e.g. when roaming across non-trusted networks) may want to
   employ only temporary addresses).

9.  Advice on IPv6 Address Usage

   [TBD]

   TODO: This section is expected to provide recommendations regarding
   the usage of IPv6 addresses.  Among others, it is expected to provide
   recommendations regarding the usage of IPv6 addresses when providing
   network services.  In the mos simple form, one argue that nodes may
   want to employ only the smallest-scope applicable addresses (if
   available) and, if stable addresses are available, nodes may want to
   accept incoming connections on such addresses but *not* on temporary
   addresses.

10.  Future Work

   Some of the discussion in this document suggest that in order to
   fully benefit from the IPv6 addresses (in terms of e.g. increased
   availability of addresses and address types) additional work may be
   required in this areas:

   o  Sockets API: The API may need to be extended such that a node may
      bind() only a subset of the available addresses, possibly by
      specifying a criteria (e.g. "only stable addresses", "only
      global", "only local", etc.).

   The aforementioned work may be carried out in this document, or as a
   result of spin off documents.

11.  IANA Considerations

   There are no IANA registries within this document.  The RFC-Editor
   can remove this section before publication of this document as an
   RFC.

12.  Security Considerations

   The security and privacy implications associated with the
   predictability and lifetime of IPv6 addresses has been analyzed in
   [RFC7217] [RFC7721], and [RFC7707].  This document complements and
   extends the aforementioned analysis by considering other IPv6
   properties such as the address scope and address usage type.

   This document also analyzes what properties are desirable for some
   popular scenarios, and provides advice regarding the configuration
   and usage of such addresses.  Finally, it describes possible future
   standards-track work to allow for greater flexibility in IPv6 address
   usage.
