A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Authentication for DHCP Messages
Author(s) : R. Droms, W. Arbaugh
Filename : draft-ietf-dhc-authentication-16.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 31-Jan-01
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework
for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
In some situations, network administrators may wish to constrain the
allocation of addresses to authorized hosts. Additionally, some
network administrators may wish to provide for authentication of the
source and contents of DHCP messages. This document defines a new
DHCP option through which authorization tickets can be easily
generated and newly attached hosts with proper authorization can be
automatically configured from an authenticated DHCP server.

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.
