I reviewed this document as part of the Security Directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written primarily for the benefit of the Security Area
Directors.  Document authors, document editors, and WG chairs should
treat these comments just like any other IETF Last Call comments.

Summary: Has Issues


Major Concerns:  I worry about the reference to SEND (RFC 3971).  The
  SEND protocol only supports digital signatures using RSA with SHA-1.
  While this still might be adequate for the time scales associated 
  with ND, the 80-bit security offered by SHA-1 is not considered
  adequate for digital signatures in general.  Is the reference to
  SEND really needed in this document?


Minor Concerns:  None


Nits:  The Gen-ART review by me includes some editorial suggestions.
