Hi, I'm happy this document exists and that it covers a large part of
many of the authentication mechanisms specified by the IETF.

It is structured simply for an easy reading and understanding (at least
to my reading).

It does not cover the three-party authentication used in Mobile IPv6
Route Optimization (CN-HA-MH) known as "return routability tests".
