Folks,

I have been reading Section 6 Security Considerations:

   It is necessary to provide sufficient defense against possible
   security attacks, or to adopt existing security mechanisms and
   protocols to provide sufficient security protections.  For instance,
   EAP-based authentication can be used for access network security,
   while IPsec can be used for end-to-end security.

I think this text still deserves some tweaking. First, "provide sufficient
defense against possible security attacks".. against whom?

Second, should the text say something that the DMM protocol itself 
must not be usable as a tool to launch an attack by a malicious
mobile node that happens to know that it is attached to a network
implementing DMM and knows (somehow) how the DMM protocol functions?
