I also think a VIN-based IPv6 addressing is a bad idea.
People involved in ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) in other SDOs (ISO, ETSI, CEN) are using pseudonyms at L2 (see the SeVeCom project, or the PRESERVE project) and NEMO at L3 (see GeoNet, CVIS and the ITSSv6 projects) so that location privacy is maintained when the vehicle is moving.

I have the usual concerns about privacy. I have no problem with someone knowing the endpoint that is communicating is associated with a vehicle (or that I, a human, am communicating from a vehicle). However, if someone can map easily from an IP address to a VIN (thus knowing the specific vehicle from which the communication is happening), and I have no choice but to reveal that information in order to communicate at all, I am not comfortable. In general, as an architectural principle, I want the option to control how much personal information I reveal. That's called privacy. ...

VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number, and it is specifically used in a context of IPv6 vehicular communications. These proposals aim at providing discussion about a new mapping/conversion method from VIN to ULA prefixes (guaranteed unique) and Interface Identifiers. Please find the above mentioned documents at: 1) Vehicle Identification Number-Based IPv6 Interface Identifier (VIID), at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-imadali-its-vinipv6-viid-00 2) Vehicle Identification Number-Based Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses (VULA), at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-imadali-its-vinipv6-vula-00 Your comments are welcome, Cheers, Sofiane. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
