Hi, I have checked the current -20 version of this draft against my previous review below. All my comments are resolved except that I think the plural of SHOULD is SHOULDs, not SHOULDS, and there are still occurrences of SHOULDS in Appendix B of the draft.

The summary of the review is Ready with Nits. Sorry to get this review in so late but, while approved by the IESG, the draft is still in revised draft needed state so this may do some good. On the security front, although the draft is pretty complex and I am not that familiar with HIP, I did not see any significant security issues that were not already called out in the draft. So I concentrated on possible editorial issues. Editorial: Section 1.1, 3rd paragraph, page 5. Delete "However," a the beginning of the 2nd sentence. It doesn't make sense. Section 2.3, Definitions should be in alphabetic order. Section 2.3: It seems to me that people who are puzzled about what something means are most likely to be puzzled by the acronym. So I would put the acronym first, where there is an acronym or acronym-like term to use, then the expansion in parenthesis or in the body of the definition. This done for a couple of entries like CMAC and CKDF but most are the other way. Section 3 last paragraph and Section 12.10 5th bullet: "to use" -> "use of" I think OGA and KEYMAT should be in the Definitions list and KEYMAT, which I assume just is short for "keying material", should be expanded on first use in Section 6.3. Alternatively, you could just replace all occurrences of KEYMAT with "Keying Material". Section 5.3.2, page 23. The first sentence of the first paragraph starting on that page has problems. Maybe "chose" should be "choses" but I'm not sure: "The DH_GROUP_LIST parameter contains the Responder's order of preference based on which the Responder chose the ECDH key contained in the HOST_ID parameter (see below)." Appendix A, first sentence, "allows to identify" -> "allows identifying" Appendix B, "IEDG" -> "IESG" Appendix B, around the middle of page 51, right after the line beginning with "Section 6," there are three line with a blank line before and after. I found this confusing at first. I suggest those three line also be indented. Appendix B, page 52, "SHOUDS" -> "SHOUDs" Thanks, Donald =============================== Donald E.
