My response is that while I suspect based on the conversation between
myself and Dino that LISP's security model probably adequately protects
mapping system integrity, my confidence in that judgment is low because the
information I need for a security review I can't find in the drafts without
reading every LISP-related document in detail, a time commitment I simply
can't justify. It's possible there's someone else in the security
directorate who knows more about the details of LISP and so would be able
to much more easily answer some of these questions with confidence; if so,
I would recommend that you ask them to take a look. I'm unwilling to say
"LGTM" simply because I can't find a problem in the time I've allocated.
