Document: draft-ietf-mif-mpvd-arch-09.txt Reviewer: Francis Dupont Review Date: 20150212 IETF LC End Date: 20150206 IESG Telechat date: 20150219 Summary: Almost Ready Major issues: None Minor issues: the authentication in DHCPv6 (RFC 3315 section 21) is considered in the document as a strong authentication. I have to disagree with this, in particular when it comes with SeND... i.e., IMHO the authentication in DHCPv6 is mainly in the name/title. Note there is a current work for a (real/strong) authentication in DHCPv6. Now it is my own opinion: I leave this to the IESG and the security directorate. Nits/editorial comments: These are related to the 09 version (the 10 version was published too late for me but there are a few changes between 09 and 10). - Abstract page 1 and 1 page 3: expand the MIF abbrev - 2.2 page 6: beloinging -> belonging - 2.4 page 7: advertize -> advertise - 3.2 page 8: first occurrence of DHCPv6 auth: "DHCPv6 and RAs both provide some form of authentication..." Note the next sentence states that authentication is not authorization (something you could always remind of :-). To avoid a future confusion between DHCPv6 auth and draft-ietf-dhc-sedhcpv6 IMHO an explicit reference is required (and I suggest to add the SeND reference too). - 3.3 page 8: i.e. -> i.e., - 3.3 page 8: utiilize -> utilize - 3.5 page 9: formally this subsection 3.5 about IKEv2 doesn't belong to section 3... I have no idea about to fix this (nor whether it should be fixed :-) - 4.1 page 10: in the figure I expect one (vs. two) Internet cloud - 5.2.1 page 12: e.g. -> e.g., (and 5.2.4 page 15, 5.3 page 5, 5.3 page 16 (twice), 5.4 page 16) - 5.2.2 page 13 (twice): advertized -> advertised - 7.1 page 18: Wifi -> Wi-Fi (wikipedia says WiFi is incorrect too) - 11 page 20: E.g. -> E.g., - 11 page 20: there are a lot of RFC 2119 keywords used in lower cases in this section. But the fact of they are keywords is not bound to the case, so please consider: - either to promote them to more visible keywords, i.e., put them in upper case - either to use a synonym wording (e.g., must -> has to) so there is no ambiguity. BTW I expect the first solution in Security Considerations but it is not the only place where this problem occurs, just the more visible/critical one. - 11 page 20: my speller doesn't like authenticatable (I can't find a synonym but IMHO the simplest is to remove this word): PvD identifier to an authenticatable identity, and must be able to authenticate that identity -> PvD identifier to an identity, and must be able to authenticate that identity Regards Francis.Dupont at fdupont.fr
