It offers configuration flexibility. If not being secured, DHCPv4 is vulnerable to various attacks, particularly spoofing attacks. This document analyzes the security issues of DHCPv4 and specifies a Secure DHCPv4 mechanism for communications between DHCPv4 clients and servers. This document provides a DHCPv4 client/server authentication mechanism based on sender's public/private key pairs or certificates with associated private keys. The DHCPv4 message exchanges are protected by the signature option and the timestamp option newly defined in this document.}, }
