IPv6 Privacy Extensions for the GNRC Network Stack - RIOT Summit 2024

Explore the implementation of IPv6 privacy mechanisms in RIOT's GNRC network stack in this 29-minute conference talk from RIOT Summit 2024. Delve into the privacy concerns surrounding Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) in IPv6 networks and learn about standardized solutions like temporary addresses and stable privacy addresses. Discover why IoT devices often lack these privacy features and understand the importance of adopting such mechanisms to prevent device tracking across networks. Gain insights into the motivation behind these privacy extensions and their practical implementation in RIOT's network stack, presented by Nico Lick, a computer science graduate specializing in IPv6 device addressing privacy.
