Document: draft-ietf-dnsext-dns-threats-06 Reviewer: John Loughney Date: March 15, 2004 This document looks good, I think that even though DNSSEC has been under development for a long time, capturing the Threat Analysis is a good thing. I say ship it, I just have a few nit-picky comments. 1) Abstract: Among other drawbacks, this cart-before-the-horse situation -> The 'cart-before-the-horse' phrase may not be appropriate for an abstact. 2) Section 1: - While some participants in the meeting were interested in protecting against disclosure of DNS data to unauthorized parties, the design team made an explicit decision that "DNS data is `public'", and ruled all threats of data disclosure explicitly out of scope for DNSSEC. -> Change ` to ' character. 3) Section 2.1: Some of the simplest threats against DNS are various forms of packet interception: monkey-in-the-middle attacks, -> Are 'monkey-in-the-middle attacks' the same as man-in-the-middle attacks? If so, perhaps revise. If it is something else, perhaps a definition is needed. 4) Section 2.3, last paragraph: DNSSEC should provide a good defense against most (all?) variations -> What is the meaning of 'most (all?)'? Perhaps strike the (all?) or change to something like: DNSSEC should provide a good defense against most, if not all, variations 5) Update Copyright statement at the end of the document.
