The IESG has received a request from the Dynamic Host Configuration WG (dhc) to consider the following document: - 'Security of Messages Exchanged Between Servers and Relay Agents' <draft-ietf-dhc-relay-server-security-03.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-03-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCPv4) has no guidance for how to secure messages exchanged between servers and relay agents. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) states that IPsec should be used to secure messages exchanged between servers and relay agents, but does not require encryption. And, with recent concerns about pervasive monitoring and other attacks, it is appropriate to require securing relay to relay and relay to server communication for DHCPv6 and relay to server communication for DHCPv4. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-relay-server-security/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-relay-server-security/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
