1. Introduction
1. 介绍

In a recent statement [IABv6], the Internet Architecture Board deemed that the Internet Engineering Task Force is expected to "stop requiring IPv4 compatibility in new or extended protocols" and that future work will "optimize for and depend on IPv6". In the interest of promoting these goals, this memo makes an important change to IPv4 node requirements [RFC1122] and adds a missing security feature to IPv6 [RFC2460].

在最近的一份声明[IABv6]中,互联网体系结构委员会认为互联网工程任务组将“停止要求新协议或扩展协议中的IPv4兼容性”,未来的工作将“优化并依赖IPv6”。为了促进这些目标,本备忘录对IPv4节点要求[RFC1122]进行了重要更改,并在IPv6[RFC2460]中添加了缺失的安全功能。

1.1. Terminology
1.1. 术语

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are not to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

本文件中的关键词“必须”、“不得”、“要求”、“应”、“不得”、“应”、“不应”、“建议”、“不建议”、“可”和“可选”不应按照[RFC2119]中的描述进行解释。

2. Required Function of All IPv4 Nodes
2. 所有IPv4节点的必需功能

To ensure that all routers, firewalls, load balancers, and other forms of middleboxes can readily identify IPv4 packets and deal with them appropriately (selective dropping, switching to the slow path through a router, sending them to the longest path first, etc.), all IPv4 nodes MUST set the security flag defined by [RFC3514] to 1. This should be sufficient to ensure that implementers of dual stack applications prefer IPv6 when given the choice, and that the Happy Eyeballs algorithm [RFC6555] will usually favour the IPv6 path.

为确保所有路由器、防火墙、负载平衡器和其他形式的中间盒都能轻松识别IPv4数据包并对其进行适当处理(选择性丢弃、通过路由器切换到慢路径、首先将其发送到最长路径等),所有IPv4节点必须将[RFC3514]定义的安全标志设置为1。这应该足以确保双栈应用程序的实现者在有选择的情况下更喜欢IPv6,并且快乐眼球算法[RFC6555]通常会支持IPv6路径。

3. Security Flag for IPv6 Packets
3. IPv6数据包的安全标志

The above requirement will somewhat nullify the practical effect of the IPv4 security flag for benign traffic, but this disadvantage can readily be overcome by adding an equivalent flag for IPv6; in fact, this is highly desirable to maintain feature equivalence between IPv4 and IPv6. Fortunately, this can easily be achieved since IPv6 supplies so many bits. The solution defined here is that the Security Flag bit for an IPv6 packet is simply the parity of the source address of the packet. In other words, if the source address contains an odd number of 1s, the flag is True; otherwise, it's False. All other considerations for the flag are exactly as described in [RFC3514].

上述要求将在一定程度上抵消IPv4安全标志对良性流量的实际影响,但通过为IPv6添加等效标志,可以轻松克服这一缺点;事实上,这对于保持IPv4和IPv6之间的功能等效是非常可取的。幸运的是,这很容易实现,因为IPv6提供了如此多的位。这里定义的解决方案是,IPv6数据包的安全标志位只是数据包源地址的奇偶校验。换句话说,如果源地址包含奇数个1,则标志为真;否则,这是错误的。该标志的所有其他注意事项完全如[RFC3514]中所述。

For an interface whose IPv6 address is set by Stateless Address Autoconfiguration [RFC4862], it is the host itself that determines the state of its security flag, by choosing an appropriate Interface Identifier value. Fortunately this is now possible and compatible with [RFC7136], [RFC7217], [RFC7421], and [RFC7721].

对于其IPv6地址由无状态地址自动配置[RFC4862]设置的接口,主机本身通过选择适当的接口标识符值来确定其安全标志的状态。幸运的是,这现在是可能的,并且与[RFC7136]、[RFC7217]、[RFC7421]和[RFC7721]兼容。

For an interface whose IPv6 address is set by DHCPv6 [RFC3315] or manually, the network administrator is free to choose an Interface Identifier that provides the desired security flag that is also compatible with [RFC7721].

对于其IPv6地址由DHCPv6[RFC3315]或手动设置的接口,网络管理员可以自由选择提供所需安全标志的接口标识符,该标志也与[RFC7721]兼容。

An exception case is a link with a 127-bit prefix [RFC6164]. Since there is only one bit available as an Interface Identifier, one end or the other will inevitably have its security flag set, and the other won't. In this case, the node at one end will simply interpret the other end's security flag to mean the opposite of what it says, and vice versa.

例外情况是带有127位前缀[RFC6164]的链路。由于只有一位可用作接口标识符,因此一端或另一端将不可避免地设置其安全标志,而另一端则不会。在这种情况下,一端的节点将简单地将另一端的安全标志解释为与它所说的相反的意思,反之亦然。

Since RFC 6164 is designed for links between routers, in the case where different ISPs are at each end of the link, it is normal operational practice for one ISP to consider the other ISP to be evil.

由于RFC 6164是设计用于路由器之间的链路,在不同的ISP在链路的每一端的情况下,对于一个ISP来说,考虑其他ISP是邪恶的是正常的操作实践。

4. Advanced Solution
4. 高级解决方案

In the event that the previous solution proves too simple to deploy in practice, a more advanced solution is also defined. It uses a new IPv6 hop-by-hop User Security Flag Option (UFO).

如果以前的解决方案过于简单,无法在实践中部署,则还将定义更高级的解决方案。它使用新的IPv6逐跳用户安全标志选项(UFO)。

The UFO is a hop-by-hop option that can be included in any IPv6 packet. Multiple UFOs MUST NOT be present in the packet. The UFO has no alignment requirement. Its format is as follows:

UFO是一个逐跳选项,可以包含在任何IPv6数据包中。包中不得存在多个UFO。UFO没有对准要求。其格式如下:

     0                   1                   2                   3
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
                                    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
                                    |  Option Type  | Option Length |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    | UserSecFlag   |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
        
     0                   1                   2                   3
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
                                    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
                                    |  Option Type  | Option Length |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    | UserSecFlag   |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
        

User Security Flag Option Layout

用户安全标志选项布局

Option Type

选项类型

8-bit identifier of the type of option. The option identifier for the User Security Flag Option (0x7g) has not been allocated by the IANA.

选项类型的8位标识符。IANA尚未分配用户安全标志选项(0x7g)的选项标识符。

Option Length

选项长度

8-bit unsigned integer. The length of the option (excluding the Option Type and Option Length fields). The value MUST be 1.

8位无符号整数。选项的长度(不包括选项类型和选项长度字段)。该值必须为1。

UserSecFlag

用户安全标志

8-bit unsigned integer. Bit 0 has the functionality defined in [RFC3514]. The other bits are reserved and MUST be zero or one.

8位无符号整数。位0具有[RFC3514]中定义的功能。其他位是保留的,必须为零或一。

4.1. Privacy Extension
4.1. 隐私扩展

The mechanism can be extended to add a privacy flag. With the mechanism of Section 3, the privacy flag could be encoded by using quaternary parity (CRC-2) to obtain an extra bit. However, this would waste considerable amounts of address space and SHOULD NOT be done. With the UFO mechanism, bit 1 of UserSecFlag is defined as the privacy flag. If set, it means that the packet contains private information and MUST NOT be inspected en route. All firewalls, monitoring devices, and government agencies MUST respect this rule. This option is expected to be much more computationally efficient

该机制可以扩展为添加隐私标志。根据第3节的机制,可以使用四元奇偶校验(CRC-2)对隐私标志进行编码,以获得额外的位。但是,这将浪费大量的地址空间,因此不应这样做。在UFO机制中,UserSecFlag的第1位被定义为隐私标志。如果设置,则意味着数据包包含私有信息,并且不能在途中进行检查。所有防火墙、监控设备和政府机构都必须遵守此规则。预计该选项的计算效率要高得多

than conventional privacy techniques like IPsec and Transport Layer Security (TLS) as no encryption or key management is required to achieve the desired privacy.

与IPsec和传输层安全(TLS)等传统隐私技术相比,无需加密或密钥管理即可实现所需的隐私。

5. Security Considerations
5. 安全考虑

The security considerations of [RFC3514] now apply to IPv6. However, with the security flag being set for all IPv4 packets, there is a risk that all IPv4 traffic will now be treated as a very distributed denial-of-service attack.

[RFC3514]的安全注意事项现在适用于IPv6。但是,由于为所有IPv4数据包设置了安全标志,所有IPv4流量现在都有可能被视为非常分散的拒绝服务攻击。

Given the recent experience with very large scale DDoS attacks from Internet of Things (IoT) devices like IP Cameras, phishing attacks, malware, etc., that occur on the IPv4 Internet, it is a safe assumption that all IPv4 packets are evil.

鉴于最近在IPv4互联网上发生的物联网(IoT)设备(如IP摄像头、网络钓鱼攻击、恶意软件等)的大规模DDoS攻击的经验,可以安全地假设所有IPv4数据包都是邪恶的。

Since the mechanism described in Section 3 is compatible with [RFC7721], address privacy is not impacted. Also, with that mechanism, exactly half the IPv6 address space will indicate that the security flag is set, so we can assert that the IPv6 Internet is only half evil.

由于第3节中描述的机制与[RFC7721]兼容,因此地址隐私不受影响。此外,通过这种机制,IPv6地址空间的一半将表示设置了安全标志,因此我们可以断言IPv6 Internet只是一半邪恶。
