Dear authors ;

Thanks for incorporating a nonce in the computation of the privacy address. 
This addresses my concern. It would have been good to insist that you are doing 
it in the security section as well, but the text there confirms that the 
address is not repeated on the next connection so we should be all set. Also in 
the security section, I’m not sure what to do with this text:

“

   However, malicious tries for one connection of a long-lived link with
   NFC technology are not secure, so the method of deriving interface
   identifiers from 6-bit NFC Link layer addresses is intended to
   preserve global uniqueness when it is possible.  Therefore, it
   requires a way to protect from duplication through accident or
  forgery and to define a way to include sufficient bit of entropy in
   the IPv6 interface identifier, such as random EUI-64.

“
I fail to understand the first sentence and the paragraph reads as a problem 
statement, but for what?  Seems that section 4.3 does now provide the required 
entropy, correct?

About section 4.5, I think some more text could be useful to assign the role of 
6LBR.
If 2 similar devices meet (say 2 handeheld), whether one is 6LR/LBR. How would 
that be decided?
When they are different, if there is a fixed device (a payment terminal, say) 
or provides connectivity as a router, then it makes sense that it is 6LBR.
This could be described so we would not end up with 2 devices that cannot talk 
because they only do 6LN.

Cheers,

Pascal

Subject: Review Request for ipv6-over-nfc-07



Hello Dave, Pascal, James and WG members:

ipv6-over-nfc-07 has just been published and the author mentions that he had 
addressed the comments from Pascal and Dave.

 Pascal and Dave,  would you please have sometime to review version 07 to check 
if your comments are addressed?

I have appended the excerpt from IETF98 meeting minutes for your reference.
This document is due for WG LC if  it looks okay.

James, you are shepherd for NFC draft -- please let us know if you are okay 
with the document's next step.

Thanks,
-Samita

As per IETF98 meeting minutes:
================================================

2 IPv6 over NFC                                    Younghwan Choi
  https://tools.ietf.org/wg/6lo/draft-ietf-6lo-nfc-06 was presented by 
Younghawn Choi on updates and
  discussed comments from WG and NFC forum. The draft was reviewed by NFC 
forum, no more comments
  from NFC forum. The author likes to move to WGLC.

  Dave Thaler:IID generation changed as a result of previous meeting

  Pascal: Replacing 6 bit address with hashing function with fixed parameters. 
Scanning is still
  easy. How is it different?
  YC: offset. Dave: offset should be random to add entropy, not predictable.
  Gabriel: offset may not be a right name. Nonce would be better.
  Samita: need reviewers before WGLC. Pascal, Dave, would you volunteer?
  Pascal will do the review and Dave agreed to review the final update.

Hello Samita,

I’ve submitted the new version of ipv6-over-nfc (-07). The document is ready 
for review.
Thanks.

Best regards,
Younghwan Choi
