Abstract

The IPv6 worldwide deployment rate is still a single figure. This is due to the many challenges introduced by the transition period through which both IPv4 and IPv6 will need to coexist. One of the biggest concerns related to the IPv6 transition is security, which is more difficult to ensure in a heterogeneous environment. To clarify the security threats introduced by IPv6 transition technologies, this article proposes a comprehensive threat model built around the established STRIDE approach. To verify the usefulness of the proposed model, a threat analysis of four generic categories of IPv6 transition technologies is performed. Existing and new threats are documented, classified and prioritized. To further validate some of the documented threats, preliminary penetration test data is presented.
