Thank you for your extensive review, Peter.

Authors, do you have thoughts on Peter’s questions? FWIW
I thought these at least were important points:

> Page 21, section 8.1.5, 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence: by “content” do you
> actually mean “context”?  Or do you mean to the content of a SIPREC
> recording?
...
> Page 38, section 12, 2nd paragraph, 3rd sentence: perhaps the word
> “effective” would be more appropriate than characterizing it as an
> “automatic” downgrade?
> 
> Page 38, section 12.1, 1st paragraph, 2nd to last sentence: just because
> an SRS is compromised does not mean that it cannot be authenticated.  It
> may very well be operating “correctly” and be able to authenticate, yet
> the compromise allows the attacker to obtain the (decrypted) RS.
> Authentication does not imply that the SRS you are talking to is not
> compromised.  It only indicates the SRS possesses some form of credential
> that appears to identify it correctly.
