RFC-Editor note on draft-ietf-mobileip-reg-revok-07.txt - please approve/announce



draft-ietf-mobileip-reg-revok-07.txt 

This document is awaited by 3GPP2 and Steve Bellovin and the editors/chairs 
agreed on an RFC Editor note for it today, which follows.  Thomas asked me to
stand in for him (because of the 3GP22 deadline).  Here is the RFC-Editor note
and now this should be approved and announced.  Steve, will you send in the
removal of your Discuss vote on this, if you haven't already?


RFC-Editor, in Section 7.2 replace:

Old:
         Revocation messages
         defined in this document which are passed between home and 
	 foreign agents in the revocation process MUST be protected by 
	 either the same foreign-home authenticators defined in [1], or 
	 another authentication mechanism at least as secure and agreed 
	 upon by the end agents, e.g., IPSec and IKE.

New:

	All foreign and home agents MUST support protection of revocation
	messages via the foreign-home authenticators defined in [1].
	They MAY implement other mechanisms of equal or greater
	strength; if such mechanisms are known to be available to
	both parties, they MAY be used instead.
