[dhcwg] DHCP hackathon in Prague: SeDHCPv6

[Tomek Mrugalski <[e-mail]>]

Folks,

As previously mentioned, we'll have a DHCP hackathon in Prague. As
usual, the hackathon will take place on the weekend immediately before
IETF (July 15-16). This time we will be focusing on SeDHCPv6. If you
somehow missed all the discussions so far, the
draft-ietf-dhc-sedhcpv6-21 defines Secure DHCPv6, an encrypted and
possibly authenticated version of DHCPv6 protocol. The goal of this
hackathon is to extend existing DHCPv6 implementations and attempt
inter-operability testing for encryption and authentication. We hope to
have the following implementations at various stages of maturity:

* WIDE - A client code is available from earlier hackathon, back in
2015: https://github.com/jinmei/wide-dhcpv6/tree/sedhcpv6.

* Cisco CNR -
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/network-registrar/index.html.

* Kea - A server code is available form earlier hackathon, back in
2015. https://github.com/isc-projects/kea/tree/sedhcpv6a.

Other implementations are more than welcome. Also, we're looking for
volunteers to help with existing projects.

It seems plausible that some of the effort during the hackathon will
be spent on extending wireshark to be able to parse the encrypted
traffic, assuming necessary security details (keys, certs) are provided.
This work hasn't started yet, and volunteers are more than welcome.

Note that although there is existing code for some implementations, it
is based on a very old -08 draft. The recent -21 draft has changed
substantially (in particular, mandatory encryption has been added).

Here's the page for the hackathon (with links to details and
registration):

Participation in the hackathon is free, but requires registration.

The best place to discuss implementation aspects would be the hackathon
list. If we discover any protocol issues, those should be discussed on
the DHC list.

Hope to see you there!
