+<p>The IP protocol is responsible for routing the data between networks
+and it employs an addressing system to achieve this. The Internet protocol
+version 4 (IPv4) has a number of security problems and lacks privacy and authentication
+mechanisms below the application layer. IPv6 provided numerous security enhancements,
+such as mandatory implementation of Authentication Header and Encapsulated
+Security Payload.</p>
+<p><i>IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack</i> enables applications to choose the protocol
+to use or automatically select it according to address type. This feature
+is supported from Symbian OS v7.0s onwards.</p>

+<p>It is possible to establish a secure connection from application to
+application and also from router to router. Security features implemented
+in low-level protocols (like IPv6) are automatically available to higher-level
+protocols and applications.</p>
