Company	IPv6 Forum
Speaker	Latif Ladid - President of IPv6 Forum
Description	The existing IP version 4 (IPv4), contains just over four billion unique IP addresses, which is not enough to last indefinitely. IPv6 is a replacement for IPv4, offering far more IP addresses and enhanced security features. ARIN and the other RIR’s have distributed IPv6 alongside IPv4 since 1999. So far, ARIN has issued both versions in tandem and has not advocated one over the other, though it has closely monitored distribution trends with the understanding that the IPv4 available resource pool would continue to diminish.   With only 19% of IPv4 address space remaining; however, it is now compelled to advise the Internet community that migration to IPv6 is necessary for any applications that require ongoing availability of contiguous IP number resources.  Delegates will learn: IPv6 Benefits IPv6 Security enablement Privacy concerns and solutions Mobile security Latif Ladid - President of IPv6 Forum - Bio President, IPv6 FORUM (www.ipv6forum.com) Chair, European IPv6 Task Force (www.ipv6.eu ) Emeritus Trustee, Internet Society - ISOC (www.isoc.org) Independent International Consultant IPv6 Ready Logo Program Board (www.ipv6ready.org) World summit Award Board Member (www.wsis-award.org ) Researcher on multiple European Commission Next Generation Technologies IST Projects: 6INIT: www.6init.org - First Pioneer IPv6 Research Project 6WINIT: www.6winit.org                 Euro6IX: www.euro6ix.org                           NGNi, http://www.ngni.org            initiator of the first IPv6 Security & Privacy project called   Project Security Expert Initiative (SEINIT) see www.seinit.org  Eurov6 : www.eurov6.org initiator of the first European Security Task Force project  Project called   SecurIST: www.securitytaskforce.org Initiated the new EU project u-2010 to research Emergency & Disaster and Crisis Management www.u-2010.eu .
