I'd like to see stronger language used in the security considerations section. I'll propose edits for you to consider: OLD: Therefore, there could be a potential security risk when the TRILL-ENs are not trusted. In addition, if the path between the directory and the TRILL-ENs are attacked, false mappings can be sent to the TRILL-EN causing packets from the TRILL-EN to be sent to wrong destinations, possibly violating security policy. Therefore, a combination of authentication and encryption should be used between the Directory and TRILL-EN. The entities involved will need to properly authenticate with each other to protect sensitive information. NEW: Therefore, there could be a potential security risk when the TRILL-ENs are not trusted or are compromised. In addition, if the path between the directory and the TRILL-ENs are attacked, false mappings can be sent to the TRILL-EN causing packets from the TRILL-EN to be sent to wrong destinations, possibly violating security policy. Therefore, a combination of authentication and encryption is RECOMMENDED between the Directory and TRILL-EN. The entities involved will need to properly authenticate with each other, provide session encryption, maintain security patch levels, and configure their systems to allow minimal access and running processes to protect sensitive information.
