Abstract:
This document defines a new option that can be used by DHCP servers
to provision with DHCP clients specific security configuration
information. It has been known that DHCP protocol typically works at
the very beginning stage of the access to networks, thus lack of
security protection. However, although it is difficult to set up some
security mechanism for DHCP protocol solely, it is able to play a key
role for DHCP server to provide configuration information to help
building security mechanism within those pre-configured DHCP clients
and devices. This new option defines a simple extension to current
standard format and benefits to those who need to activate security
mechanism in an early stage and interoperate within devices from
multiple vendors.
