Abstract: Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is one of the most interesting features in IPv6. It allows nodes to connect to a network by generating a unique IP address. It works on two Neighbor Discovery (ND) messages, namely, Neighbor Solicitation (NS) and Neighbor Advertisement (NA). To verify the uniqueness of generating IP, it sends that IP address via NS message to existing hosts. Any malicious node can receive NS message and can send a spoof reply, thereby initiates a DoS attack and prevents auto configuration process. In this manner, DAD is vulnerable to such DoS attack. This study aims to prevent those malicious nodes from sending spoof reply by securing both NS and NA messages. The proposed Advanced Bits Security (ABS) technique is based on Blake2 algorithm and introducing a creative option called ABS field that holds the hash value of tentative IP address and attached to both NA and NS message. We expect the ABS technique can prevent spoof reply during DAD procedure in link local network and can prevent DoS attack
