    Abstract: Internet protocol is the widely deployed protocol used for communication. 
  The internet engineering task force is the organization responsible for defining 
  the internet protocol standards. When the IETF developed IPv4, the wide growth 
  of the internet and the security issues were not expected. Due to internet’s 
  rapid growth IPv6 was designed. IPv6 is designed to achieve simplicity, increased 
  routing speed, improved QOS and inbuilt security. Due to the massive growth 
  in internet users and technology deployment of IPv6 is mandatory. Because the 
  successor of IPv4 is not compatible, transition technologies play a key role 
  in establishing the communication between IPv4 and IPv6. Currently, both protocol 
  suites are needed for communication so the involvement of transition technology 
  is also mandatory. IETF Next Generation Transition working group (NGTrans) has 
  developed many transition technologies to enable the integration of IPv6 facilities 
  into current infrastructure that uses IPv4. This study discusses Internet Protocol 
  ver4 security issues, internet protocol ver6 issues and compares both the internet 
  communication protocols. Because the transition phase involves both internet 
  protocols, the transition phase is vulnerable to major security issues. This 
  study synthesizes different security threats that are involved in the transition 
  phase. Some of the Mitigation techniques for the threats are also synthesized.
