<strong>NIST Released Draft Special Publication 800-119, Guidelines for
the Secure Deployment of IPv6</strong><br>
February 22, 2010
<p class="top"> NIST announces the public comment release of <a
href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsDrafts.html#800-119"><strong>Special
Publication (SP) 800-119</strong></a>, <em>Guidelines for the Secure
Deployment of IPv6</em>.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the next generation Internet
Protocol, accommodating vastly increased address space. This document
describes and analyzes IPv6's new and expanded protocols, services, and
capabilities, including addressing, DNS, routing, mobility, quality of
service, multihoming, and IPsec. For each component, there is a
detailed analysis of the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, the
security ramifications and any unknown aspects. It characterizes new
security threats posed by the transition to IPv6 and provides
guidelines on IPv6 deployment, including transition, integration,
configuration, and testing. It also addresses more recent significant
changes in the approach to IPv6 transition. <br>

comprehensive document - available at
