This document provides a summary of common security protocols. It then
discusses the interfaces that exist between applications and security protocols
as well as security protocols and transport services.

Major issues: The document header says that this document is about interfaces
between security protocols and transport services. Yet, later on, I find that
the document is also discussing the interfaces between security protocols and
applications. Perhaps you could add 'applications' to the title -> 'Interaction
Between Applications, Security Protocols, and Transport Services'

Editorial issues:
- Instead of saying 'This protocol obsoletes TCP MD5 "signature" options', can
we say 'TCP-AO obsoletes....' to avoid confusion of what is 'this' - Please
expand 'and IPsec AH [RFC4302]' -> IP Authentication Header - Are you talking
about cryptographic agility here 'security protocols: confidentiality, privacy
protections, and agility.' ? - Consider changing 'interface surface exposed '->
interface exposed by'. Otherwise it sounds too similar to attack surface
exposed. - Expand EAP and reference RFC3748. - Perhaps you could say that
Source Address Validation (SAV) to prevent DoS is relevant for protocols that
use unreliable transport?
