AK Vorrat’s position on IPv6 privacy issues
Benjamin Erhart, Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung Germany

IPv6 recently came into the focus of the German NGO Arbeitskreis
Vorratsdatenspeicherung (Working Group on Data Retention). Since then, the
working group has developed a position on how user privacy should be 
supported
by ISPs and software/hardware vendors. To mitigate privacy issues with
potentially life-long IP addresses for every user, users should be 
empowered to
choose what’s best for them.

Join Benjamin at this BoF to offer your input on this and discuss, among 
other
topics, how:
- The introduction of IPv6 influences data retention laws
- Your MAC address is used as part of an IPv6 host address
- Privacy concerns in Germany are going to influence ISPs’ IPv6 assignment
