A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Securing Zeroconf Networks
Author(s) : A. Williams
Filename : draft-williams-zeroconf-security-00.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 16-Nov-00
Devices using zeroconf networking protocols can communicate using IP
without requiring user configuration or infrastructure services like
DHCP and DNS.
The options available to secure zeroconf networks are canvassed. A
comparison is made between bootstrapping IPSec and securing sample
protocols from each area listed in the zeroconf working group
charter. This shows IPSec to be the most promising approach for
securing zeroconf protocols.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
