For dhcpcd you would do this:

interface vtnet0
  ia_pd 3 vtnet1/11 vtnet2/12
  option domain_name_servers, domain_name, ntp_servers
  authproto delayed
  authtoken 1 "example.org" forever "JTY0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=="


But please note that delayed authentication has now been obsoleted:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8415#section-25
While dhcpcd supports it to some extend, it's not widely tested and could be broken in any given release as I don't have a means of testing it right now.

The only real authentication support that is in the RFC's is the reconfigure key.
