COMMENT:

----------------------------------------------------------------------



== Section 3.4 ==

"Signing and validation with the ECDSA P-384 SHA-384 and ECDSA P-521

  SHA-512 algorithms is performed identically to the procedure for

  ECDSA P-256 SHA-256 -- just using the corresponding hash algorithms

  with correspondingly larger result values.  For ECDSA P-384 SHA-384,

  R and S will be 384 bits each, resulting in a 96 octet sequence.  For

  ECDSA P-521 SHA-512, R and S will be 521 bits each, resulting in a

  132 octet sequence."



For the ECDSA P-521 SHA-512 case, how does the result amount to 132 octets? Is there padding inserted into R and S?



The P-521 curve uses 521-bit R and S values.  It takes 66 octets to represent 521 bits.  There are two 66-octet values, hence 132 octets.



== Section 7 ==



Do we use iesg@iesg.org<mailto:iesg@iesg.org>? I usually use iesg@ietf.org<mailto:iesg@ietf.org>.



== Section 8.4 ==

"An Initialization Vector value MUST never be used multiple times with

   the same AES GCM key."



I think what was intended here was s/MUST never/MUST NOT/



Agreed.  To keep the same level of emphasis, I propose to change “MUST never” to “MUST NOT ever”.
