Abstract

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.
