IPv6, designed to address the anticipated internet address exhaustion crisis, exists in a paradoxical state. Its deployment steadily expands, connecting more users and devices; yet it seems stalled, overshadowed by the enduring dominance of IPv4 solutions. This article explores the complexities of IPv6 adoption, including the role of NAT, IPv4 address transfers, and inconsistent vendor and application developer readiness. It analyzes different government strategies in promoting IPv6, and how incentives, vendor accountability, and capacity-building initiatives can foster adoption. Ultimately, it highlights IPv6's importance in preserving the internet as an open platform for innovation.

Hardware-Level Network Time Security: Netnod's FPGA Implementation of NTS

2024-12-13

Following a 2019 software implementation of Network Time Security (NTS), Netnod has deployed NTS at the hardware level using FPGAs for their NTP and NTS protocols. This hardware implementation offers enhanced security, mitigating side-channel attacks and improving efficiency and scalability. While challenges existed in processing complex NTS packets, Netnod overcame them with a multi-engine parallel processing solution. Their NTS service is now in production.
