Received changes through RFC Editor sync (changed abstract to 'This document defines the bundle security protocol, which provides data integrity and confidentiality services for the Bundle Protocol. Separate capabilities are provided to protect the bundle payload and additional data that may be included within the bundle. We also describe various security considerations including some policy options.

This document is a product of the Delay-Tolerant Networking Research Group and has been reviewed by that group. No objections to its publication as an RFC were raised. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.')

The IANA Actions in this document are dependent on the approval of
another document being considered by the IESG. That document is
draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries.

IANA understands that, upon approval of this document, there are four
actions that need to be completed.

First, in the new Bundle registry created by IANA upon approval of
draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries, four new values will be added to
the Bundle Block Types subregistry as follows:

+-------+----------------------------------------+----------------+

| 2 | Bundle Authentication Block | [ RFC-to-be ] |

| 4 | Payload Confidentiality Block | [ RFC-to-be ] |
| 9 | Extension Security Block | [ RFC-to-be ] |
+-------+----------------------------------------+----------------+

Second, in the in the new Bundle registry created by IANA upon approval
of draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries, a new subregistry will be
created for Bundle ciphersuite numbers, as follows. The registration
policy for this registry is: Specification Required. The Value range is:
Variable Length.

The initial values for this new subregistry are:

Third, in the in the new Bundle registry created by IANA upon approval
of draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries, a new subregistry will be
created for Bundle ciphersuite flags, as follows. The registration
policy for this registry is: Specification Required. The Value range is:
Variable Length.

The initial values for this subregistry are:

Fourth, in the in the new Bundle registry created by IANA upon approval
of draft-blanchet-dtnrg-iana-registries, a new subregistry will be
created for Bundle ciphersuite parameters and results, as follows. The
registration policy for this registry is: Specification Required. The
Value range is: 0 - 255.
