Hi Brian, Thanks for your review. See my answers inline. Cheers! Roque On Dec 14, 2012, at 3:00 AM, Brian Weis wrote: I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. This document describes a mandatory algorithm transition procedure for the RPKI. It describes a single method, comprised of four phases and six milestones. Each phase discusses a strategy for rollback of the new algorithm. The algorithm transition procedure seems complete, and the security considerations section is adequate. One statement in the discussion of Phase 4 is confusing (Section 4.7). It first states: "RPs MAY validate signed product sets using Suite C. However, RPs SHOULD NOT assume that the collection of Suite C product sets is complete." Later it notes that Suite A could be deprecated, and states: "At this stage, RPs are still capable of processing Suite C signed products, so the RPKI is still viable." But if the Suite C product sets may be incomplete, how is the RPKI still viable? This should be clarified. One clarification is that the first piece of text that you quoted is the normal agility process while the second quoted sentence refers to what to do when the new algorithm suite is deemed unsuitable and the algorithm change process needs to be canceled. That said, what about this clarification text? If the Algorithm Suite A (former Algorithm Suite B) is deemed unsuitable, the algorithm transition timeline and the algorithm specification documents MUST be replaced, the Algorithm Suite A MUST be deprecated using the process described in Section 10<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sidr-algorithm-agility-08#section-10> and CAs MUST NOT remove Suite C product sets. At this stage, RPs are still capable of processing Suite C signed products, so the RPKI is still viable. Nits: - Section 3, "Corresponds" definition: s/Resoureces/Resources/ - Section 4.1, "End Of Life (EOL) Date definition: s/is MUST/MUST/ - Section 7, last paragraph. The final sentence would be clearer if it read "Since Suite C products are being deprecated during Phase 4, a CA may revoke certificates issued under Suite C without revoking them under Suite A." Ignore if you don't agree. Thanks! Will Change for next version. Brian
