Dear Ted and John

I would like to present two drafts which are related to the security issues of DHCP.
It probably takes 10 minutes for both of them.

1.     Option Extensions for DHCPv4 - This draft defines a new option that can be used by DHCP servers, to exchange with DHCP clients specific security configuration information. It is draft-bi-dhc-opextensions-00. It may take 5 minutes.

2.     Authentication based on certificates for DHCP - This draft defines a technique that can provide both entity authentication and message authentication based on certificates. The goal of this specification is to define methods for certificates to protect the integrity of DHCP messages and close the gaps of the existing delay authentication mechanism. It is draft-xu-dhc-cadhcp-00. It may take 5 minutes, as well.

Thanks!

Yang
