IPv6 establishes direct identity of users on the Internet, resulting in more secure access control over network resources, quicker resolution of network problems, better ability to audit interactions and a general reduction in operating cost to name a few benefits. Goverment of all Nation States and INTERPOL continue to work on how best to identify their citizen. IPv6 can be a helpful solution to resolve this. Especially in Africa where there is a growing digital revolution continues to attract users who use ICT for the wealth of the community and malicious users who use it with bad intentions.
