Abstract:
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) enables
DHCPv6 servers to pass configuration parameters. It offers
configuration flexibility. If not being secured, DHCPv6 is
vulnerable to various attacks, particularly spoofing attacks. This
document analyzes the security issues of DHCPv6 and specifies a
Secure DHCPv6 mechanism for communications between DHCPv6 clients and
DHCPv6 servers. This document provides a DHCPv6 client/server
authentication mechanism based on server's public/private key pairs
and client's certificates. The DHCPv6 message exchanges are
protected by the signature option and the timestamp option newly
defined in this document.
