Abstract—Nation’s network infrastructure such as the Global
Information Grid (GIG) for the Department of Defense (DoD)
and the OneNet for the Homeland Security Department are transitioning
to the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) per DoD CIO
Memorandum of June 2003 and the Office of Management and
Budget memorandum OMB-05-22. There exist IPv6 specific security
vulnerabilities in these network infrastructures that need
to be mitigated in order to achieve security parity with the existing
IPv4 operations. From the perspective of the Homeland Security
technologies, the existence of additional security vulnerabilities
implies a possibility for two pronged threats. First, the IPv6
specific vulnerabilities reduce the security posture of the network
infrastructure itself; second, other critical infrastructure sectors
that depend on IPv6 need additional protection. For example, the
future supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) industrial
capabilities would increasingly use the IPv6 infrastructure,
as would the voice communications, the voice and video collaboration,
and sharing of data such as the image data and surveillance
and reconnaissance data.
