Summary: Ready

Major issues: None

Minor issues: None

Nits/editorial comments:
 - ToC page 2 and 8 page 11: Acknowledgements -> Acknowledgments

 - 5 page 7: I have a concern about your use of the term random. In fact
  even it is a security document here random is just plain English
  (vs any crypto meaning). Constraints seems to be:
   * coverage: the set of used values should not be small
   * privacy: fingerprinting should not be easy
  I do not propose any solution: just follow recommendations of
  the security directorate in the case this point is a problem.
