Re: [manet] I-D Action: draft-ietf-manet-packetbb-sec-04.txt

Hi,

I have updated the packetbb-sec draft. The major change is Chris' request to
make a general framework for signatures (with TLV type extension 0), and a
specific decomposition of a signature into a cryptographic function over a
hash value (with type extension 1). Other type extensions can thus be
specified.

Please provide comments on the draft.

I have also updated draft-herberg-manet-nhdp-sec to reference to the new
packetbb-sec. The draft certainly requires a bit more work, but so far I
have not received much feedback whether the working group is interested in
this work (and would like to adopt it as WG draft). Please provide comments
and feedback if you are interested in that draft.
