Title : The Authentication Suboption for the DHCP Relay Agent
Option

The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option (RFC 3046) conveys
information between a DHCP relay agent and a DHCP server. This
specification defines two mechanisms for securing the messages
exchanged between a relay agent and a server. The first mechanism
defines a new authentication suboption for the Relay Agent
Information Option that supports source entity authentication and
data integrity for relayed DHCP messages. The authentication
suboption contains a cryptographic signature in a payload derived
from the option used in DHCP Authentication (RFC 3118). The second
mechanism uses IPsec (RFC 2041) to protect messages exchanged between
relay agents and servers.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
