Hi,
I have been selected as General Area Review Team reviewer for this
draft (for background on Gen-ART, please see
http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/gen/art/gen-art-FAQ.html).
Draft: draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-auth-ecdsa-05.txt
Reviewer: Gonzalo Camarillo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Review Date: 21 April 2006
IETF LC Date: 5 April 2006
Summary:
This draft is basically ready for publication as a PS RFC, but has nits
that should be fixed before publication. Additionally, this draft does
not seem to contain any normative language. If the policy for adding
entries to the IANA registry this draft updates does not require the
publication of a PS RFC (I have not checked that point), this RFC could
be Informational instead.
Comments:
The boilerplates should be updated to be compliant with current IETF
policies.
Acronyms in the title of the draft should be expanded.
In section 3, the draft says: The document defines the following... the
phrase would be clearer if it said instead: *This* document defines...
The second paragraph of page 4 refers the IANA registry by giving a
pointer to a reference ([IANA]). The reference [IANA] points to the
registry using its URI. IANA registries should not be referenced by
their URIs; they should be referenced by their names. In this case, "The
IANA Registry for IPSEC Authentication Methods". This should be changed
in both Sections 3 and 5.
The Security Considerations and IANA Considerations Sections are
typically the last sections before the References and the Authors'
Addresses. This draft has a section (Section 6) after the IANA
Considerations section. I suggest that that section is converted into an
appendix or moved before the Security Considerations Section.
Thanks,
Gonzalo
