IPv6 Opportunistic Encryption
Abstract
This paper presents an Opportunistic Encryption scheme for IPv6. Our proposal relies on IPv6 Anycast, Authorization certificates and Crypto-Based Identifier- s (CBID) to provide secure and easily deployable Opportunistic Encryption in IPv6. Unlike existing schemes, our proposal does not rely on any global Third Trusted Party (such as DNSSEC or a PKI). Hence, we claim it is more secure, easier to deploy and more robust.
