Hi,

I have reviewed this document as part of the Operational directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These comments were written with the intent of improving the operational aspects of the IETF drafts. Comments that are not addressed in last call may be included in AD reviews during the IESG review.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments.

Summary: Ready for publication, with nits, and subject to its Standards Track status being agreed as appropriate

This document defines the use of the Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) for DNSSEC, and specifically the generation of its DS, DNSKEY and RRSG records. It asks for two Algorithm Numbers from IANA.

Major issues:

I note that the EdDSA algorithm defined in draft-irtf-cfrg-eddsa-08 is Informational in nature (or will be, once published), yet here we have a Standards Track document describing its use for DNSSEC. I believe RFC 3967/4897 has various exceptions by which this is acceptable, but I’ve noted this issue here to ensure the AD picks it up and takes appropriate action (if they have not already done so :)

Minor issues:

Section 8 on IANA Considerations could add an explicit reference to the registry in which Algorithm Numbers are being requested.

Nits:

Section 9: s/offers/offer
