[dtn-security] Updated SBSP Document

["Birrane, Edward J." <[e-mail]>]

Good morning.

I've released a new version of the Streamlined Bundle Security Protocol (SBSP) document (see information below).

This change incorporates comments received to date, including:

- Minor spelling/grammar changes and text cleanup.
- Expanded discussion on extension block identification (Section 2.1)
- Clarified that a BIB may not be added to sign an encrypted block. (Section 2.7)
- Clarified block processing order in Section 2.7.
- Clarified BIB processing (Section 3.3.3)
- Simplified bundle fragmentation discussion (Section 3.4)
- Clarified interaction of authentication and reactive fragmentation.
- Updated policy considerations.

I am cross-posting to dtn-interest and dtn-security as an announcement, but would ask that technical discussion occur on dtn-security.
