Last Call Review of draft-moriarty-pkcs12v1-1-03

Dear all,

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.

Most of the contents in this draft is taken directly from a published

RSA
 document PKCS #12. In this version, nearly all the typos are

corrected. I think this document is good enough for publication.

In security consideration, it is suggested to follow PKCS #5 (RFC2898)

to
 select passwords. I realize that in RFC2898 there is no discussion

about how to ensure a good randomness of the salt.  Therefore, I

suggest
 to cite RFC4086.

Maybe there should also be a reference to Appendix B, just to put that Appendix
into perspective ... saying that RFC 4086 is the superior guide, but for
integrity protection
 only, the method of Appendix B may be adequate.
