<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>
[<a id="ref-RFC4862">RFC4862</a>] specifies Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) for
IPv6 [<a href="./rfc2460" title=""Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification"">RFC2460</a>], which typically results in hosts configuring one or
more "stable" addresses composed of a network prefix advertised by a
local router, and an Interface Identifier (IID) [<a href="./rfc4291" title=""IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture"">RFC4291</a>] that
typically embeds a stable link-layer address (e.g., an IEEE LAN MAC
address).
In some network technologies and adaptation layers, the use of an IID
based on a link-layer address may offer some advantages. For
example, [<a href="./rfc6282" title=""Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4-Based Networks"">RFC6282</a>] allows for the compression of IPv6 datagrams over
IEEE 802.15.4-based networks [<a href="./rfc4944" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 Networks"">RFC4944</a>] when the IID is based on the
underlying link-layer address.
The security and privacy implications of embedding a stable link-
layer address in an IPv6 IID have been known for some time now and
are discussed in great detail in [<a href="./rfc7721" title=""Security and Privacy Considerations for IPv6 Address Generation Mechanisms"">RFC7721</a>]. They include:
o Network-activity correlation
o Location tracking
o Address scanning
o Device-specific vulnerability exploitation
More generally, the reuse of identifiers that have their own
semantics or properties across different contexts or scopes can be
detrimental for security and privacy [<a href="#ref-NUM-IDS" title=""Security and Privacy Implications of Numeric Identifiers Employed in Network Protocols"">NUM-IDS</a>]. In the case of
traditional stable IPv6 IIDs, some of the security and privacy
implications are dependent on the properties of the underlying link-
layer addresses (e.g., whether the link-layer address is ephemeral or
randomly generated), while other implications (e.g., reduction of the
entropy of the IID) depend on the algorithm for generating the IID
itself. In standardized recommendations for stable IPv6 IID
generation meant to achieve particular security and privacy
properties, it is necessary to recommend against embedding stable
link-layer addresses in IPv6 IIDs.
Furthermore, some popular IPv6 implementations have already deviated
from the traditional stable IID generation scheme to mitigate the
aforementioned security and privacy implications [<a href="#ref-Microsoft" title=""Understanding IPv6, 3rd. ed"">Microsoft</a>].
As a result of the aforementioned issues, this document changes the
recommended default IID generation scheme for generating stable IPv6
addresses with SLAAC to that specified in [<a href="./rfc7217" title=""A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)"">RFC7217</a>] and recommends
against embedding stable link-layer addresses in IPv6 Interface

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc8064">RFC 8064</a> Default Interface Identifiers February 2017</span>
Identifiers, such that the aforementioned issues are mitigated. That
is, this document simply replaces the default algorithm that is
recommended to be employed when generating stable IPv6 IIDs.
NOTE:
[<a href="./rfc4291" title=""IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture"">RFC4291</a>] defines the "Modified EUI-64 format" for IIDs.
<a href="./rfc4291#appendix-A">Appendix A of [RFC4291]</a> then describes how to transform an IEEE
EUI-64 identifier, or an IEEE 802 48-bit MAC address from which an
EUI-64 identifier is derived, into an IID in the Modified EUI-64
format.
In a variety of scenarios, addresses that remain stable for the
lifetime of a host's connection to a single subnet are viewed as
desirable. For example, stable addresses may be viewed as beneficial
for network management, event logging, enforcement of access control,
provision of quality of service, or for server or router interfaces.
Similarly, stable addresses (as opposed to temporary addresses
[<a href="./rfc4941" title=""Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6"">RFC4941</a>]) allow for long-lived TCP connections and are also usually
desirable when performing server-like functions (i.e., receiving
incoming connections).
The recommendations in this document apply only in cases where
implementations otherwise would have configured a stable IPv6 IID
containing a link-layer address. For example, this document does not
change any existing recommendations concerning the use of temporary
addresses as specified in [<a href="./rfc4941" title=""Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6"">RFC4941</a>] and the recommendations do not
apply to cases where SLAAC is employed to generate non-stable IPv6
addresses (e.g., by embedding a link-layer address that is
periodically randomized); in addition, this document does not
introduce any new requirements regarding when stable addresses are to
be configured. Thus, the recommendations in this document simply
improve the security and privacy properties of stable addresses.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. Terminology</span>
Stable address:
An address that does not vary over time within the same network
(as defined in [<a href="./rfc7721" title=""Security and Privacy Considerations for IPv6 Address Generation Mechanisms"">RFC7721</a>]).
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in <a href="./rfc2119">RFC 2119</a> [<a href="./rfc2119" title=""Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels"">RFC2119</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Generation of IPv6 Interface Identifiers with SLAAC</span>
Nodes SHOULD implement and employ [<a href="./rfc7217" title=""A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)"">RFC7217</a>] as the default scheme for
generating stable IPv6 addresses with SLAAC. A link layer MAY also
define a mechanism for stable IPv6 address generation that is more
efficient and does not address the security and privacy
considerations discussed in <a href="#section-1">Section 1</a>. The choice of whether or not
to enable the security- and privacy-preserving mechanism SHOULD be
configurable in such a case.
By default, nodes SHOULD NOT employ IPv6 address generation schemes
that embed a stable link-layer address in the IID. In particular,
this document RECOMMENDS that nodes do not generate stable IIDs with
the schemes specified in [<a href="./rfc2464" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks"">RFC2464</a>], [<a href="./rfc2467" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over FDDI Networks"">RFC2467</a>], [<a href="./rfc2470" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Token Ring Networks"">RFC2470</a>], [<a href="./rfc2491" title=""IPv6 over Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) networks"">RFC2491</a>],
[<a href="./rfc2492" title=""IPv6 over ATM Networks"">RFC2492</a>], [<a href="./rfc2497" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over ARCnet Networks"">RFC2497</a>], [<a href="./rfc2590" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Frame Relay Networks Specification"">RFC2590</a>], [<a href="./rfc3146" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 1394 Networks"">RFC3146</a>], [<a href="./rfc3572" title=""Internet Protocol Version 6 over MAPOS (Multiple Access Protocol Over SONET/SDH)"">RFC3572</a>], [<a href="./rfc4338" title=""Transmission of IPv6, IPv4, and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Packets over Fibre Channel"">RFC4338</a>],
[<a href="./rfc4391" title=""Transmission of IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB)"">RFC4391</a>], [<a href="./rfc5072" title=""IP Version 6 over PPP"">RFC5072</a>], and [<a href="./rfc5121" title=""Transmission of IPv6 via the IPv6 Convergence Sublayer over IEEE 802.16 Networks"">RFC5121</a>].
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-4" href="#section-4">4</a>. Future Work</span>
At the time of this writing, the mechanisms specified in the
following documents might require updates to be fully compatible with
the recommendations in this document:
o "Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4-Based
Networks" [<a href="./rfc6282" title=""Compression Format for IPv6 Datagrams over IEEE 802.15.4-Based Networks"">RFC6282</a>]
o "Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 Networks"
[<a href="./rfc4944" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over IEEE 802.15.4 Networks"">RFC4944</a>]
o "Neighbor Discovery Optimization for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless
Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs)" [<a href="./rfc6775" title=""Neighbor Discovery Optimization for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPANs)"">RFC6775</a>]
o "Transmission of IPv6 Packets over ITU-T G.9959 Networks"
[<a href="./rfc7428" title=""Transmission of IPv6 Packets over ITU-T G.9959 Networks"">RFC7428</a>]
Future revisions or updates of these documents should consider the
issues of privacy and security mentioned in <a href="#section-1">Section 1</a> and explain any
design and engineering considerations that lead to the use of stable
IIDs based on a node's link-layer address.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-5" href="#section-5">5</a>. Security Considerations</span>
This document recommends against the (default) use of predictable
Interface Identifiers in IPv6 addresses. It recommends [<a href="./rfc7217" title=""A Method for Generating Semantically Opaque Interface Identifiers with IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC)"">RFC7217</a>] as
the default scheme for generating IPv6 stable addresses with SLAAC,
such that the security and privacy issues of IIDs that embed stable
link-layer addresses are mitigated.
