The Seattle SAGE Group
An Advanced Overview of IPv6

• Security Association
  • Combination of destination address and Security Parameter Index
• Authentication - Keyed MD5 (128 bit default)
• Encryption - DES-CBC
  • Tunneled mode - can encrypt an entire IP datagram to get data across unsecured channels from a secure endpoint to another secure endpoint
  • Transport mode - will encrypt only the transport layer data (e.g., UDP, TCP, ICMP) ip layer stuff.
