draft-ietf-lisp-sec-26 CC @evyncke

Thank you for the work put into this document.

Please find below some non-blocking COMMENT points (but replies would be
appreciated even if only for my own education).

Special thanks to Luigi Iannone for the shepherd's detailed write-up including
the WG consensus and the justification of the intended status.

I hope that this helps to improve the document,

Regards,

## COMMENTS

### Section 5, trusts relationships

This section mentions 'trust relationships', but do not explain how those are
created ? A forward reference would be welcome (e.g., to section 7.5 but even
this is rather weak).

### Section 5, decrypting something that was not encrypted
```
   1.  The ITR, upon needing to transmit a Map-Request message,
       generates and stores an OTK (ITR-OTK).  This ITR-OTK is included
       into the Encapsulated Control Message (ECM) that contains the
       Map-Request sent to the Map-Resolver.
```

Based on the text following this bullet, should the ITR-OTK also be encrypted
(as it is decrypted in step 2) ?

### Section 7.5

Are the shared keys per ITR Map-resolver pair or are they shared by *ALL* ITR
and the Map-resolver(s). It is probably the former as the latter would be a
huge threat of impersonation among ITR. Should there be some text about this ?

### Performance impact of LISP-SEC

Did the authors have an estimate on the performance impact (crypto operations,
increased size of the messages) of LISP-SEC? Should there be a section about
this potential impact ?
