Folks, FYI, RFC 7217 has been published: <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7217.txt>; It is meant to address the issues discussed in: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-opsec-ipv6-host-scanning>; and <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-ipv6-address-generation-privacy>; Thanks! Best regards, Fernando -------- Original Message --------Subject: RFC 7217 on A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 14:05:39 -0700 (PDT) From: rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org To: ietf-announce@ietf.org, rfc-dist@rfc-editor.org CC: drafts-update-ref@iana.org, ipv6@ietf.org, rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7217 Title: A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) Author: F. Gont Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: April 2014 Mailbox: fgont@si6networks.com Pages: 19 Characters: 48497 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-6man-stable-privacy-addresses-17.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7217.txt This document specifies a method for generating IPv6 Interface Identifiers to be used with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), such that an IPv6 address configured using this method is stable within each subnet, but the corresponding Interface Identifier changes when the host moves from one network to another. This method is meant to be an alternative to generating Interface Identifiers based on hardware addresses (e.g., IEEE LAN Media Access Control (MAC) addresses), such that the benefits of stable addresses can be achieved without sacrificing the security and privacy of users. The method specified in this document applies to all prefixes a host may be employing, including link-local, global, and unique-local prefixes (and their corresponding addresses). This document is a product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
