Document: draft-ietf-ipsecme-eddsa-04 Reviewer: Christer Holmberg Review Date: 2017-11-17 IETF LC End Date: 2017-12-04 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: The document is well written, and almost ready for publication. However, I have some editorial change suggestions that I think would improve the readability of the document. Major issues: None Minor issues: None Nits/editorial comments: Q1: ---- In the Abstract the text says " Edwards-curve digital signature algorithm", without the EdDSA abbreviation, and in the Introduction the text says "EdDSA" without the enhancement. I suggest to say "Edwards-curve digital signature algorithm (EdDSA)" in the first occurrences within the Abstract and the Introduction. Q2: ---- In the Introduction the text says "The latter RFC" and "that document". I suggest to explicitly use the RFC numbers instead. That makes it easier to read, and there is always a theoretical change that someone files an errata, or update the text within another RFC, that changes the order to the RFCs so that "The latter" etc points to the wrong RFC... Q3: ---- In the Introduction the text says: "EdDSA defines the binary format of the signatures that should be used in the "Signature Value" field of the Authentication Data Format in section 3." Section 3 of what? I assume you refer section 3 of RFC 8032, so I suggest to explicitly say that. Otherwise someone (at least I did) may jump to section 3 of the draft and start looking. The same thing applies to "Appendix A". Please indicate the RFC number. Q4: ---- In the Introduction the text says: "we define a new value" I suggest to say "this document defines a new value". Or, you could even say "section 2 of this document defines a new value". Q5: ---- In section 3, I suggest to add a reference (URL?) to the hash algorithm registry.
