I have 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 editors and WG chairs should treat

these comments just like any other last call comments.

This document registers Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) authentication
schemes which have been defined in standards=tract

RCFs before the IANA HTTP Authentication Scheme Registry was established.

My understanding is that registration does not constitute an endorsement of
security; it simply allows IANA do make sure that any

identifiers, etc. specified remain unique.  Thus I do not see any security
issues with this document.
