A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Secure DHCPv6 with Public Key Author(s) : Sheng Jiang Sean Shen Filename : draft-jiang-dhc-sedhcpv6-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2013-06-29 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. This mechanism is based on public/private key pairs. The authority of the sender may depend on either pre-configuration mechanism or Public Key Infrastructure.
