Back to the Future: Revisiting IPv6 Privacy Extensions

David Barrera, Glenn Wurster, P. C. van Oorschot

Abstract

We identify issues in current IPv6 privacy extensions and propose improvements that significantly enhance both the flexibility and functionality, to protect a client from being tracked as it moves between different IPv6 networks. This is achieved by generating a new interface identifier for each visited network.
