Comment:
The document was updated to include the following:
A malicious node can obtain initial configuration information in order to
appear as a legitimate node and then carry out various types of attacks. A
malicious node can also keep legitimate nodes busy by broadcasting
authentication/join requests.
One possibility for mitigating such threats is the use of mutual
authentication schemes based on the use of pre-shared keys [1].
