A Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) is a selfcertifying address that a node generates when it joins a foreign network. Despite its advantages, generating a CGA is computationally expensive. This study examines the security and performance issues related to the use of the CGA Generation algorithm. It also scrutinizes the hash extension mechanism, dierent hash functions and how multithreading can be used to improve the performance of the CGA Generation algorithm. Based on the results, this research recommends imposing a minimal computational security ofO(2 80 ), the use of the HAVAL
