I reviewed this document for suitability as a Proposed Standard.

This document is basically ready for publication. It's also OK for me
to say that it's a well-written document that makes sense to
first-time readers.

I do have one comment.

There's a lot of text around "per-message integrity services" in this
document - it's important enough to mention in the abstract - but this
term wasn't precisely defined and I didn't see an obvious reference
that it pointed to. It wasn't clear to me what the connection between
"per-message integrity services" and MICs was - and I didn't see a
reference for MICs, either. It may be that all of this is perfectly
clear to security types, but I didn't "get it". A quick look at
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2743.txtmade mewonder if this
should be the reference, but I'm not smart enough to know what the
reference should be.
