The IESG has received a request from the Dynamic Host Configuration WG (dhc) to consider the following document: - 'Secure DHCPv6 Using CGAs' <draft-ietf-dhc-secure-dhcpv6-07.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 2013-02-25. 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 IPv6 (DHCPv6) enables DHCPv6 servers to pass configuration parameters. It offers configuration flexibility. If not secured, DHCPv6 is vulnerable to various attacks, particularly spoofing attacks. This document analyzes the security issues of DHCPv6 and specifies a Secure DHCPv6 mechanism based on using CGAs. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-secure-dhcpv6/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-secure-dhcpv6/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1343/
