I will have to look at the draft again to see the references for DNCP security and will get back yo you as soon as I can do that. I've had some day job responsibilities this morning. I don't see any references for "DNCP secure mode" in this draft. I see the term used in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-dncp/?include_text=1 but that is also without reference. Can you point me to the definition for "DNCP secure mode"? This may help, I'm not sure until I can see the definition and can understand if it addresses the points or not. Thank you!
