Open issues in DHCP FQDN, DHCID and DDNS-DHCP Related RFCs

[Ralph Droms <[e-mail]>]

Included below is a summary list of the open issues in this package of
documents:

draft-ietf-dnsext-dhcid-rr-10.txt
draft-ietf-dhc-ddns-resolution-10.txt
draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-fqdn-03.txt
draft-ietf-dhc-fqdn-option-11.txt

1.  Which DHCID RR encoding does an IPv4 client/server use (Brian
    Carpenter; Bernie has submitted text to resolve the issue)
2.  Editorial comment on resolution doc section 6.3.2 and AAAA records
    (Ted Hardie)
3.  s/byte/octet/g  (Scott Hollenbeck)
4.  Use example. or example.com. in examples (Scott Hollenbeck)
5.  s/signature/hash value/g (Russ Housley)
6.  In the resolution doc "security considerations" s/where or/whether
    or/ (Jon Peterson)
7.  Add an 8-bit algorithm identifier to the DHCID RR to
    support algorithm agility (Allison Mankin)
8.  Use of MD5 as opposed to a stronger hash function (Sam Hartman,
    Russ Housley)
9.  Hash agility (Sam Hartman, Allison Mankin)
10. Russ's comment that an attacker that has some knowledge of MAC
    addresses does not need to do lot of work. I think this can be
    addressed in security considerations by saying this is not privacy
    but just obfuscation (Russ Housley)
11. UTF-8 character set usage (Harald Alvestrand, gen-art)

Issues 1-6 are strictly editorial and the document editors will revise the
documents to resolve those issues in the next revision.

Issues 7-10 are all related to the hash algorithm specified in the documents
and the requirements for algorithm agility.  We will resolve those issues
through an e-mail discussion to follow.

Issue 11 needs some clarification; Harald, I hope you'll kick off a separate
thread to discuss how to resolve this issue.
