That's not hugely secure, though: IPv6 is only 128 bits, which means that the hash is would only provide 64 bits of security if it provided all the bits for the address. And I assume that the IPv6 address is not _only_ the hash, but instead some bits are used to put it into ULA space or similar. ULA uses 7 bits, which means that only 121 bits of the hash are usable, which means it provides 60.5 bits of security, which isn't nothing, but isn't really good enough for anything you care about. In 2022, 128 bits is the bare minimum, and frankly 192 or 256 are often preferable. |
