Reviewer: Scott Kelly
Review result: Ready

I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments
were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document
editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call
comments.

The summary of the review is ready.

>From the abstract, this document obsoletes RFC 4210 by including the updates
specified by CMP Updates RFC 9480 Section 2 and Appendix A.2 maintaining
backward compatibility with CMP version 2 wherever possible and obsoletes both
documents.

Because this document is the product a security area working group, I assume
the security considerations have been extensively reviewed already and that
this secdir review is largely pro forma.

I confirmed that the security considerations section consolidates the security
considerations from RFC4210 and RFC9480. There is one new section added: "8.1.
On the Necessity of Proof-Of-Possession". I think the RFC editor may suggest an
update, but I'll comment anyway - the second sentence says, "If an entity
holding a private key obtains a certificate containing the corresponding public
key issued for a different entity, can authenticate as the entity named in the
certificate." I think this might read more smoothly if you add "it" before "can
authenticate".
