I am a technology instructor. I teach computer networking. I am a networking expert.



I am absolutely certain that this will come to pass. --- Everything on the planet that will need to be securely identified, will be identifiable with a soon to be release security platform that will include three (3) IPV6 addresses as the identifying "marker." Every device on the planet will use three (3) IPV6 addresses for the ultimate security identification. Hence the "666", mark of the beast.



IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE READ ON:



A new networking technology is going to be released over the next 5 years called IPV6 (internet protocol version six). Currently the world is using IPV4 (internet protocol version four). IPV4 & IPV6 are both TCP/IP (transmission control protocol / internet protocol), the only communication language that is spoken between computers on the internet. TCP/IP or just IP (internet protocol) is the only game in town.



An aspect of IP is that it acts like a telephone number to devices on the internet. Every device on the internet has an IP address. IPV4 is running out of internet addresses. IPV6 was invented to add additional IP address to the shrinking pool of address made available by IPV4.



The new wireless internet (802.16 / WiMax) is currently being released, and should be mainstream within 10 years (or maybe sooner). WiMax will provide for 30 mile wireless internet. With WiMax, all communication devices will be directly connected to the internet. Your cell phone, computer, IPOD, Palm Pilot will use this technology first. You’re Television, and house hold appliances will come next. The important aspect of WiMax in relation to "666" is not that your everyday devices will be hooked to the internet. It is that with the growth of WiMax, IPV6 must be implemented in order to supply enough IP addresses to the glut of new internet devices that will be hitting the consumer.



IPV6 allows for 40 trillion IP address for every square inch of the earth. These IP addresses will be so abundant, that they will be used in an every day fashion to identify objects attached to the internet.



One of the key networking challenges for WiMax (or any wireless technology) is that of roaming from one wireless network to another without the device loosing connectivity. The solution will be that devices will maintain several IP addresses at one time. IPV6 will be implemented with WiMax under the assumption that all internet devices will have many IP addresses simultaneously in use to identify "it's self". The method of using multiple IP address for an internet device (client side / multi-homing) is not a method that is currently used with IPV4.



As the internet develops, three (3) IPV6 addresses will be used to securely identify all devices attached to the internet. This is the "666." Three (3) different IPV6 addresses will be used to securely identify all devices, people, and anything that needs a secure identification.



The three (3) IPv6 addresses for identification will evolve from an out growth of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) using 3DES 128 bit encryption. Each IPv6 address is 128 bit's in length, and SSL is the main / only security method that is used between computers on the internet. All internet web browsers (IE - internet explorer) currently use SSL to conduct internet banking transactions.



Notice the HTTPS:// in your address bar next time you are banking on the internet. The "S" on HTTPS:// is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Normal internet surfing uses only HTTP:// (hyper text transport protocol).



There is going to be a marriage between the need for three (3) 128 bit IPV6 addresses, and the current method of security on the internet SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL will use three (3) 128 bit numbers (IPSEC with 3DES) in a method with IPV6 to provide incredible internet security.



I am absolutely certain that this will come to pass. --- Everything on the planet that will need to be securely identified will be identifiable with a soon to be release security platform that will include three (3) IPV6 addresses as the identifying "marker." Every device on the planet will use three (3) IPV6 addresses for the ultimate security identification. Hence the "666", mark of the beast.
