Document: draft-ietf-ace-cwt-proof-of-possession-08

Reviewer: Christer Holmberg

Review Date: 2019-10-04

IETF LC End Date: 2019-10-09

IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat



Summary: For most part the document is ready, but I have a few editorial 
comments and an issue.



Major issues: N/A



Minor issues:



The text says in the Security Considerations that one must ensure that the 
might not understand the "cnf" claim, and that applications must ensure that 
receivers support it.



Q1: How are you going to ensure that, and why do you have to ensure that? RFC

8392 doesn't even seem to require that one must ensure that the receivers 
support CWT.



Mike> I agree that this text isn't actually actionable.  I propose that we 
simply delete it.



Q2: For receivers that do support CWT, RFC 8392 says that unsupported claims 
must be discarded. If that can't be applied for "cnf" I think you need to 
explain why.



Mike> The RFC 8392 requirement does apply.  This is also aligned with the text 
in 3.1, so I don't think there are any changes needed to the spec for this.



Nits/editorial comments:



Q_ED_1: Please use [RFC8392] instead of [CWT] when referencing to RFC 8392.



Mike> OK – will do.



Q_ED_2: Shall CBOR be enhanced on first occurrence (in the Abstract or 
Introduction), or is it on the list of well-known abbreviations?



Mike> I’d be glad to expand it to enhance readability.



Q_ED_3: Add a reference for CBOR map on first occurrence.



(I was looking in RFC 7049, and while it mentions maps in many places I could 
not find a proper definition for "CBOR map")



Mike> Sure.  I can add a reference to Section 2.1 of RFC 7049.
