Towards the Identification of the Possible Security Issues of the 464XLAT IPv6 Transition Technology

This paper focuses on one of the most prominent IPv6 transition technologies named 464XLAT. The aim is to analyze the security threats that this technology might face. We carry out the threat analysis by applying the STRIDE method, which stands for Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure and Elevation of Privilege. STRIDE uses the DFD (Data Flow Diagram) as a basis for its analysis. We have analyzed the structure of 464XLAT then applied the STRIDE method on it and came up with interesting results regarding its security vulnerabilities and we have narrowed down the most common attacks that might have an effect on its deployment.
