IPv6, the new Internet communications protocol, will soon replace the still-dominant IPv4. Security benefits are a given as part of this migration, explains EMC researcher Davi Ottenheimer. The explosive use of mobile devices means the number of IP addresses has jumped dramatically since the early days of IPv4, he says. The increased number of addresses also means potential for greater risk, he notes. Trust is really the cornerstone of how we’re going to manage security going forward.”]
