Document: draft-ietf-core-oscore-edhoc-09
Reviewer: Joel Halpern
Review Date: 2023-11-12
IETF LC End Date: 2023-11-13
IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat

Summary: This document is ready for publication as a proposed standard
reviewer note: I did not attempt to verify that the description here of the
underlying security protocols is correct.  I leave that to the WG and the
security reviewers.

Major issues: N/A

Minor issues:
   In reading the first part of section 3, I found myself confused in two
   regards.  First, the diagram shows the third message as containing EDHOC
   message_3 + OSCORE-protected data. But the text refers to it as also
   containing C_R which is not apparently part of EDHOC message 3.  I think
   this is explained in step 4 of section 3.2, but it is at best jarring at
   this stage. (Maybe just call it OSCORE option C_R? Or note at this point,as
   you do later, in the text that the EDHOC C_R and the OSCORE C_R are
   identical?)
    Second, the description here is worded in a way that leads the reader to
    understand that the EDHOC message is part of the OSCOR content.  The
    processing order and protection structure is spelled out in section 3.2. 
    Maybe just add something like "This structure can be processed in order due
    to the construction rules in section 3.2?
