Hi Yaron,
 
Thanks for the review. Can you update the status of the SECDIR review?

            I'd also recommend changing, "key names" to "key-ids or key-chain 
names" since this is what is actually being advertised.

not provide any encryption mechanisms to protect the secrecy of the PCED TLV, 
and the operator must ensure that no private data is carried in the TLV, for 
example that key names do not reveal sensitive information about the network.

                    Hi Qin,

                    Sorry, but I find your latest proposed text very confusing, 
because we should be focusing on integrity protection and not privacy 
(=secrecy) of the TLV. So I would prefer to keep the text as-is, with the 
addition of a reference to the IS-IS and OSPF security mechanisms that were 
discussed on this thread.

                    Thanks,
                        Yaron

Unfortunately RFC 5304 still uses HMAC-MD5, which would be considered insecure 
nowadays.

                            >* Sec. 3.1: I don't understand why "SHOULD 
advertise" and not MUST. Especially given the strict client behavior defined 
later.
                            [Qin]: I believe "SHOULD advertise" is consistent 
with client behavior defined later, i.e., we apply SHOULD NOT language to the 
client behavior.
                            I am not sure we should change it into strong 
language with MUST. Since if IGP advertisement doesn't include TCP-AO
                             support flag bit or TLS support flag bit, NMS may 
fall back to configure both PCC and PCE server to support TCP-AO or TLS. That's 
one of reason I think why we choose to use SHOULD language.

                            >* Sec. 3.1: should we also say something about the 
case where both methods are advertised, and whether we recommend for the client 
to use one of them over the other?

                            [Qin]: It is up to local policy, which has bee 
clarified in the end of section 3.1. Hope this clarify.

                            >* Sec. 4: typo (appears twice) - "to be carried in 
the PCED TLV of the for use".

                            [Qin]:Thanks, have fixed them in the local copy.

                            >* Sec. 7: this phrase appears to be essential to 
security of this mechanism: "it MUST be insured that the IGP is protected for 
authentication and integrity of the PCED TLV". I would expect more guidance: 
how can this property be ensured in the relevant IGPs?
                            [Qin]:I think mechanism defined in [RFC3567] and 
[RFC2154] can be used to ensure authenticity and integrity of OSPF LSAs or ISIS 
LSPs and their TLVs. Here is the proposed changes:
                            OLD TEXT:
                            "
                               Thus before advertisement of

the PCED TLV if the
                               mechanism described in this document is used.

                            >* Also, a possibly unintended consequence of this 
requirement is that if the IGP cannot be protected in a particular 
deployment/product, this mechanism would not be used. Please consider if this 
is likely to happen and whether we want to forego PCEP transport >security in 
such cases. My gut feel (not based on experience in such networks) is that the 
threat models are different enough that we should decouple the security of IGP 
from that of PCEP.

                            [Qin] I agree IGP security should be separated from 
PCEP security. IGP extension defined in this document is used by the PCC to 
select PCE server with appropriate security mechanism. On the other hand, 
Operator can either use IGP advertisement for PCEP security capability or rely 
on local policy to select PCE. If operator feels IGP advertisement is not 
secure, he can fall back to local policy or rely on manual configuration. Hope 
this clarifies.
