摘要：Because of the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and certain differences between both IP versions, there are quite some possible security issues. In this paper we try to find how the security of networks is affected by this transition. For this purpose we made a questionnaire to inquire about the general status of the transition in companies which provide services connected to networks (ISPs, security providers, etcetera). Secondly we used practical tests on production networks in order to get an idea about the IPv6 networks in the wild. The questionnaire shows that IPsec is not used more with IPv6 than with IPv4. Furthermore it shows that IPv6 and IPv4 are considered to be equally secure, while the IPv6 appliances used still handle IPv6 in software a lot. The practical tests supported the hypothesis that IPv6 networks are less secure than IPv4 networks. Even though the scale of this study is limited, the results are important because they show that the security of IPv6 still has a long way to go.
