Description of the research topic:
IETF has standardized a high number of IPv6 transition technologies, which enable communication in various scenarios despite the incompatibility of IPv4 and IPv6 [1]. They involve several security vulnerabilities, too. We have developed a methodology, which can be used to discover the security vulnerabilities of the different IPv6 transition technologies and their most important implementations efficiently [2].
The applicant should reconsider the selection the most important IPv6 transition technologies in [1] and apply the above mentioned methodology for the identification of the potential security issues of the selected technologies. The vulnerabilities of the most important free software implementations should also be checked and mitigations should be recommended.
Skills required: good command of English, knowledge of computer networks, persistence in studying IETF RFCs and security forums, working with Linux.
