Hi, Melinda:

Sorry for the delayed reply. I agree there should be security analysis work in 
each requirement document. However, I believe NVO3 networks could be very 
complex, and it is reasonable, at least at the moment, for us to analyze the 
system in a comprehensive way instead of splitting them into different parts 
and analyzing them respectively, since, for example, the attacks on a component 
may be a step of a more complex attack targeting another component and the 
security issues with the data plane may also be applied to attack the control 
plane. In addition, it is also useful for us to make a good threat model and 
reasonable assumptions of attacking capability before specifying the security 
requirements for data and control planes. It is very important for us to agree 
upon which security properties that we should guarantee and what kind of 
attacks we need to consider before moving forward.

So, I think it is proper to put the work mentioned above into an individual 
document. But if the group would like us to put the conclusion of our analysis 
into other documents or help the authors of other documents do the security 
related work, we would be very happy to do so. ^_^

Cheers

Dacheng
