Document: draft-clancy-eap-pax-09 Reviewer: Elwyn Davies [elwynd@dial.pipex.com] Review Date: Thursday 8/31/2006 4:46 AM CST IESG Telechat Date: 31 August 2006 Summary: [This is a re-review of a draft which I reviewed -08 for IETF LC.] This draft is almost ready for PS. There are a couple of minor issues that need clarification. Issues: ======= s2.2: > > If the underlying > EAP transport protocol is known, then the client SHOULD differentiate > between these values. > What are the consequences of not doing... under what circumstances would it be reasonable or necessary not to differentiate? What is the mapping between types of EAP transport protocol and field values ( straight PPP is obvious but what other types map to the two kinds?). What happens if other certificate types are defined? And other transports? s3.2: The len field is still not precisely defined. It appears that it is the length in octets of the corresponding value field in octets encoded as a two octet binary integer. Editorial: ========== s1.2: Expand NAI. A reference to a suitable RFC that explains Diffie-Hellman generators would be useful. s3.2: I think it would be good to emphasise that the MAC is computed just over the value field and not the length field [If I was an implementor I am not sure how happy I would be about this!].
