Document: draft-dbider-sha2-mac-for-ssh-05
Title: SHA-2 Data Integrity Verification for the Secure Shell (SSH) Transport
        Layer Protocol

Reviewer: S. Moonesamy

IETF Last Call Date: April 16, 2012

Summary:  This draft is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard.

The draft defines algorithm names and parameters for use of some of 
the SHA-2 family of secure hash algorithms for data integrity 
verification in SSH protocol.  It updates RFC 4253.

Nits:

In the Abstract Section:

   "It also updates RFC4253 by specifying a new RECOMMENDED data
    integrity algorithm."

Should the word "RECOMMENDED" be interpreted as a RFC 2119 key word?

In Section 3:

  "IANA is requested to update the SSH algorithm registry with the
   following entries."

Shouldn't that be the Secure Shell MAC Algorithm Names registry?

S. Moonesamy
