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.

+

IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack 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.

+IPv4/IPv6 dual-protocol stack +

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.
