I updated revision 34 draft with:
* Security properties for deferred patterns in appendix, taken from
Noise Explorer.
* Renamed "authentication" / "confidentiality" security properties in
spec to "source" / "destination", since the Noise Explorer team
pointed out these categories don't map directly to the previous terms.
* In section 10, clarified the distinction between "switch protocols"
(a protocol that Bob switches to) and "fallback protocols" (a protocol
that uses the fallback modifier).
* In section 10, removed some of the description of a "type byte";
and generalized/renamed the "Type fields" discussion in "Application
responsibilities" to discuss "Negotiation data".
* Added X1N pattern (which I forgot somehow; so needs to be added to
Noise Explorer too).
For the first two points, I'd like to follow-up with Noise Explorer
team and see whether they agree with how the spec presents these
properties. In particular, do they still want 2 additional
categories? [1].
For the next 2 points: we don't want to put NoiseSocket/NLS stuff in
this spec, but I think exploring those things has improved our
understanding of how to build things around Noise, so reflecting that
better understanding in this spec makes sense.
We could use proof-reading of the security properties table, that's a
lot for me to transcribe from Noise Explorer..
Other comments?
I keep saying this, but hopefully we can publish this week.
