As we do not really define protocol here, there is not that much of
real security considerations. The current security considerations
lists the generic problems against all protocols of this type.

I am not sure adding pointer to the protocol document helps that much,
as I assume people will read the protocol document anyways, but
perhaps adding text "See Security considerations section of <xref
target="I-D.ietf-mobike-protocol"/> for more information about
security considerations of the actual protocol." helps.
