Abstract
A network security system comprises a first component that generates an address for identifying a communicating device on a network. A second component receives the address generated by the first component and facilitates transitioning from an existent address to the generated address. Such transitioning is effectuated in order to protect the network against attack while providing seamless communications with respect to the communicating device.
