Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a standard track RFC.

 

 

Major issues:

 

Minor issues:

 

 

Nits/editorial comments:

  1. Section 4.8 “This section defines the specifies” should be “specifics”

 

Thanks

 

  1. Section 5.2.2 “Section 5.2.3 and Section 5.2.5” should be “through” since 5.2.4 also defines instances.

 

Agreed

 

  1. Section 5.2.2.1 in bullet 1 “the values of these parameters are specified by the AEAD algorithms (in Section 5.2.3 and Section 5.2.5)”. Did you mean AEAD in which case is should be expanded and a reference is probably needed or do you need to change it to Authenticated Encryption? Also the “and” should be “through” same as previous comment.

 

Yes, the “AEAD” should become “Authenticated Encryption” to be consistent with the rest of the spec.  And agreed about “through”.

 

  1. In section 5.2.2.1 bullet 4 for “number of bits in A“ I had to go to bullet 5 to see what A is. Maybe add also here “additional authenticated data”

 

“A” is defined in the first sentence of 5.2.2.1 as “additional authenticated data”.  But there would be no harm the addition you propose.  Knowing that it’s defined in the first sentence, do you still want to see the addition?

 

                                                                Thanks again,
