-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid8407 -------------------------------------- Status: Rejected Type: Technical Reported by: Yan Jia <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2025-05-07 Rejected by: Deb Cooley (IESG) Section: 2.15. Original Text ------------- InitiatorSignedOctets = RealMessage1 | NonceRData | MACedIDForI NonceRPayload = PayloadHeader | NonceRData Corrected Text -------------- InitiatorSignedOctets = RealMessage1 | Nr| MACedIDForI NonceRPayload = PayloadHeader | Nr Notes ----- I'm not sure whether "NonceRData" and "NonceIData " refers to Nr and Ni? I searched "NonceRData" but I cannot find its definition. BTW, because we have already included "MACedIDForI" that is generated from Nonce in InitiatorSignedOctets, can we remove "NonceRData" from InitiatorSignedOctets (assuming NonceRData is Nr)? --VERIFIER NOTES-- The proposed change is wrong. Nr in the RFC7296 diagrams represents the whole Nonce payload, including payload header, while only its content is included in to the authentication data. This is expressed by the line: NonceRPayload = PayloadHeader | NonceRData The correct change would be: Nr = PayloadHeader | NonceRData However, while terms NonceRPayload, InitiatorIDPayload, RealMessage1, etc., are not formally defined in the RFC, the explanation text above makes it clear what is meant. -------------------------------------- RFC7296 (draft-kivinen-ipsecme-ikev2-rfc5996bis-04) -------------------------------------- Title : Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) Publication Date : October 2014 Author(s) : C.
