1. A method for secure migration of IPv6 protocol packets, comprising:

  • receiving, by a communication channel stored in a trusted security zone, a request from a first application to engage in an exchange of communication with a second application, wherein the first application is associated with an IPv6 protocol and the second application is associated with an IPv4 protocol;

    determining, by the communication channel, whether the second application has a security feature activated;

    in response to a determination that the second application does not have the security feature activated, determining, by the communication channel, whether the second application is a trusted application or resides in a secure environment; and

    in response to a determination that the second application is at least one of a trusted application or resides in a secure environment, migrating, by the communication channel, packet communication to the second application.
