I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's 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 comment.



This document communicates the presence of a captive portal in a WiFi network
using DHCP and RAs.



Recommendation:  Ready



The motivation of the document makes sense, namely to avoid interception of
traffic, and the document is an easy extension to already available mechanisms
(RA/DHCP). I was expecting to see a reference to Hotspot 2.0, which aims to
make the interaction between hotspot providers and end devices more intelligent
(but covers a much larger scope).



Minor nit:



In Section 4 you write:



“This document defines two DHCP Captive-Portal options, one for IPv6

   and one for IPv6.”



It should of course read “…, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.”



Ciao

Hannes
