Re: Attacking networks using DHCP, DNS - probably kills DNSSEC

Would this be the DHCP working group that on at least 2 occasions when I was there, insisted that secure DHCP wouldn't require a secret, since DHCP isn't supposed to require "configuration"?

Given that their goal is zero-configuration networking, I can see that being required to provide a shared secret would mess things up a bit for them. It'd be a bit like PKIX being asked to make ease-of-use a consideration in their work, or OpenPGP to take X.509 compatibility into account.
