Abstract

Having age of ubiquitous ahead, existing IPv4's address space insufficiency phenomenon appears because of increasing network usage as well as multimedia data transmission becomes much, necessity of new IP address system that guarantee QoS are needed. IPv6 was made to solve these problem. IPv6 solves address space insufficiency phenomenon offering by 128bit address space, and also offers hierarchical address layer that support improved QoS. IPv6 defines relation between surrounding node using Neighbor Discovery protocol. Used Neighbor Discovery messages, grasp surrounding node, include important informations about network. These network information outcrops can give rise in network attack and also service that use network will paralysis. Various kinds of security limitation was found in Present Neighbor Discovery protocol therefore security function to supplement tris problem was required. In this thesis, Secure Neighbor Discovery protocol that add with security function was design and embody by CGA module and SEND module.
