That requires outside authentication though. I think it would be cool to incorporate some SSL into dhcp
That will never happen. SSL is based on trust, and the trust root will never blindly delegate to whatever happens in random LANs. Subdomain is 100% the right approach for internal network.
It can and has already happened. You can make your own root ca. Internal domains need internal root cas. Is it a pia to setup yes. Do I have it installed on my unrooted android phone and linux computers? Yes.
Edit: I didn't see the dhcp part. But you can still make your own root ca
op was obviously referring to public root CAs
I didn't get that
and IT'S OK, we don't want you to burn out
I'm already burnt out. Womp womp
go outside and pet a dog
Rare here but I'll try and find one
The maintainers of DHCP can't even be bothered standardising a query to check if an address is currently in use, doubt they could take on being a CA at the same time
