       Title     : Security Concerns for IPng

A number of the candidates for IPng have some features that are somewhat 
worrisome from a security perspective.  While it is not necessary that IPng
be an improvement over IPv4, it is mandatory that it not make things worse.
Below, I outline a number of areas of concern.  In some cases, there are 
features that would have a negative impact on security if nothing else is 
done.  It may be desirable to adopt the features anyway, but in that case, 
the corrective action is mandatory.
