An Overview of IPv4 to IPv6 Transition and Security Issues

Sharing of information and resources among different devices require networking. As networks are expanding day by day, IPv6 is gaining more and more popularity. Different transition mechanisms have been established and yet a lot of research is to be carried out. Network security is another very important area of research and needs special attention in the era of network expansions. In this paper, we have discussed different transition mechanisms from IPv4 to IPv6, and various security issues, as well. We have presented a comprehensive review of various security measures proposed by different researchers.
