Hi David and Wajdi, Your updated ESP/AH algorithm doc looks great, and is very much needed. I just have one comment. You speak of the 2 services provided by ESP and AH as confidentiality and "data origin authentication." As I'm sure you know, authentication is used in different ways by different communities. I believe that in most of the IPsec docs the 1st service is referred to interchangeably as encryption and confidentiality; the 2nd service is interchangeably referred to as authentication and integrity protection. However, in RFC 4303 (ESP) it states: "Data origin authentication and connectionless integrity are joint services, hereafter referred to jointly as "integrity"." In your doc, the integrity-protection aspect is not mentioned at all, and I believe that is a critical oversight.
