Reminder: PIC last call




Greetings again. There have been only one comment to date on the new PIC draft, which is in WG last call, and that was from one of the co-authors.


The list of changes from -03 to -04 include:

- Introduced optional transport over TCP to avoid packet fragmentation.

- Added another message round for DoS protection.

- Hash computations now include the complete ISAKMP header.

- Better handling of authentication failures.

Please read over the draft, which you can find at <http://www.vpnc.org/draft-ietf-ipsra-pic>. Please make sure that the changes do what they say they are supposed to do, and that the security of the protocol has been maintained. Of course, please send comments to the list.

(There will be at least one more draft before sending this to the IESG, since the authors have not done a complete IANA considerations section, but those changes will not affect any of the protocol.)
