Hi Bernard, Regarding client authentication, there are a number of constraints on the solution that lead to the current choice. The most relevant constraint is that there may be no prior relationship between LIS (network operator) and device. In designing for arbitrary access networks, thi

I guess I'm still missing your original concern. But, one problem with that sentence is that it's really out of context and would make more sense if it were the first sentence in the last paragraph in section 8, as that then leads to the text on the recommended mechanism (i.e., TLS). The sentence i

Hi Ben, So, you are talking about section 9.3 which does state that the LIS ensures that the client is authenticated, per the following: "The LIS MUST verify that the client is the target of the returned location, i.e., the LIS MUST NOT provide location to other entities than the target.

Hi Mary, The part I was trying to highlight was the lack of client device authentication, not LIS authentication. If I read 9.1 right, it only covers authentication of the LIS. I assume there is no expectation that client devices present TLS certs to the LIS, right? Again, I'm not saying
