Abstract

Communications using IPv6 over the Internet represent a very minimal rate of all communications. For example, users accessing Google in IPv6 account for only 20.69% of all connections. However, these communications are often present in the majority of local networks, either officially, and after protocol deployment by the administrators, or in the form of “unofficial” traffic using the addresses automatically generated by the nodes of the network. This last case is often neglected by administrators, even if it can be a source of attacks against the network. In this paper, we proposed a new mechanism to secure the messages used in the DAD process, and we compare the results by using two hash functions. Overall, the experimental results show a significant effect in term of execution time.
