Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a standard track RFC.





Major issues:



Minor issues:




Nits/editorial comments:

  1.  Section 4.8 "This section defines the specifies" should be "specifics=
"

Thanks


  1.  Section 5.2.2 "Section 5.2.3 and Section 5.2.5" should be "through" s=
ince 5.2.4 also defines instances.

Agreed


  1.  Section 5.2.2.1 in bullet 1 "the values of these parameters are speci=
fied by the AEAD algorithms (in Section 5.2.3 and Section 5.2.5)". Did you =
mean AEAD in which case is should be expanded and a reference is probably n=
eeded or do you need to change it to Authenticated Encryption? Also the "an=
d" should be "through" same as previous comment.

Yes, the "AEAD" should become "Authenticated Encryption" to be consistent w=
ith the rest of the spec.  And agreed about "through".


  1.  In section 5.2.2.1 bullet 4 for "number of bits in A" I had to go to =
bullet 5 to see what A is. Maybe add also here "additional authenticated da=
ta"

"A" is defined in the first sentence of 5.2.2.1 as "additional authenticate=
d data".  But there would be no harm the addition you propose.  Knowing tha=
t it's defined in the first sentence, do you still want to see the addition=
?

                                                                Thanks agai=

Section 5.2.2.1 in bullet 1 &#8220;the values of these parameters are speci=
fied by the AEAD algorithms (in Section 5.2.3 and Section 5.2.5)&#8221;. Di=
d you mean AEAD in which case is should be expanded and a reference is prob=
ably needed or do you need to change it to Authenticated
 Encryption? Also the &#8220;and&#8221; should be &#8220;through&#8221; sam=
e as previous comment.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

In section 5.2.2.1 bullet 4 for &#8220;number of bits in A&#8220; I had to =
go to bullet 5 to see what A is. Maybe add also here &#8220;additional auth=
