Importance: High

 

Hi Vivek,

 

The 802.20 WG has reviewed the IEEE 802.21 PAR for Security Extensions and has three comments as suggested improvements for that PAR.

 

1. The Scope states the work builds on the 802.21 standard. The standard is not yet approved. Therefore it would seem that the standard is dependent upon the completion of the 802.21 standard and such dependency should be so noted in section 5.3.

 

2. If possible, improve/enhance the Purpose statement as it should be more distinct and separate from the Scope. (Per NesCom conventions)

 

3. The use of “signaling” in the Scope can be confusing and should be dropped for the sentence. If we understand the scope correctly the objective is to “reduce the latency of authentication and key establishment”.

 

Regards,

Mark Klerer
