The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to consider the following document: - 'Temporary Address Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6' <draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis-10.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2020-09-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes an extension that causes nodes to generate global scope addresses with randomized interface identifiers that change over time. Changing global scope addresses over time limits the window of time during which eavesdroppers and other information collectors may trivially perform address-based network activity correlation when the same address is employed for multiple transactions by the same node. Additionally, it reduces the window of exposure of a node via an address that becomes revealed as a result of active communication. This document obsoletes RFC4941. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4941bis/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
