Re: [Geopriv] Long review of draft-ietf-geopriv-loc-filters-07



To James' point, though, I think replacing the word "uploading" with the word "specifying" would more precisely describe what you get out of common policy and geolocation policy (and is still accurate for held-context).

---- Draft Text ---

Each of these documents listed above comes with a security
consideration section but the security and privacy aspects are best
covered by the SIP presence event package, see Section 9 of
[RFC3856], and with the GEOPRIV architectural description found in
[I-D.ietf-geopriv-arch]. The functionality for uploading
authorization policies and other information that limit access to
location information are provided by other protocols, such Common
Policy [RFC4745], Geolocation Policy [I-D.ietf-geopriv-policy] or
more recent work around HELD context
[I-D.winterbottom-geopriv-held-context]. The functionality described
in this document extends the filter framework with location specific
filters. Local policies might be associated with the usage of
certain filter constructs and with the amount of notifications
specific filter settings might cause.

I find it curious
why these references work for this
document - knowing there is no defined
transport for loading such policies - but
the ID creating a DHCP Option for
Location URIs requires a policy transport
defined. why is that?

-------

The security consideration section essentially says two tings:

* these location filters are just an extension in a larger system. Hence,
the security of these other building blocks are applicable.

* this document does not define any new security mechanisms for
location-specific filters.
