ABSTRACT

Every day the world grows more and more dependent on digital communi- cation. Technologies like e-mail or the World Wide Web that not so long ago were considered experimental, have rst become accepted and then in-dispensable tools of everyday life. New communication technologies built on top of the existing ones continuously race to provide newer and better functionality. Even established communication media like books, radio, or television have become digital in an e ort to avoid extinction. In this torrent of digital communication a constant struggle takes place. On one hand, people, organizations, companies and countries attempt to control the ongoing communications and subject them to their policies and laws. Currently, one of the most ubiquitous protocols in deployment is the In- ternet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). Its universal presence and range make it an ideal candidate for covert channel investigation. However, IPv4 is ap- proaching the end of its dominance as its address space nears exhaustion. This imminent exhaustion of IPv4 address space will soon force a mass mi- gration towards Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) expressly designed as its successor. While the protocol itself is already over a decade old, its adoption is still in its infancy. The low acceptance of IPv6 results in an insucient understanding of its security properties.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the primary protocol used for relaying the network packets from source to destination through the Internet. It was initially designed in 1974 by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn to connect systems that are in different geographical locations. Today, much of the world's population is becoming more connected to and reliant on the Internet ...
