Design and Implementation of Ipv6 Address Using Cryptographically Generated Address Method

摘要

There is always a tradeoff between privacy and the desired level of security for any internet user in the contemporary cyber world. Cyber security, of late, is paramount and its breach could lead to untoward consequences, at times, disastrous. The advent of the IPv6 provides a hope to resolve this tradeoff satisfactorily. Included in the IPV6 suite is a method for devices to automatically configure their own addresses in a secure manner. This technique is called Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGAs). CGA provides the ownership proof necessary for an IPv6 address without relying on any trust authority. However, the computation involved in CGAs is very high, especially for a high security level defined by the security parameter (Sec)
