Thompson +Review Date: Mon Oct 19 13:48:49 2026 + +*Summary* + +As far as I can tell as a non-specialist, the ... is in good shape. +There are ... below. + +This draft is part of a package of at least three parts, including +also _Secure Asset Transfer (SAT) Interoperability Architecture_ and +_Secure Asset Transfer (SAT) Use Cases_. + +*Minor points* + +1. + + The restriction to just HTTPS with TLS1.3 is almost certainly not + what you want. The use of HTTP/2 or QUIC, which requires use of + TLS1.3, should be allowed. + + In the Introduction, all that's needed is something along these lines: + + Secure transfer mechanisms such as HTTPS with TLS no less than 1.3 + must be used. + + 5.3.9 and 5.4 can actually be simplified by switching to language + which allows for successor messaging systems which offer the same or + better security than HTTPS with TLS1.3. + + There might be an argument for a SHOULD support HTTPS with TLS 1.3, + but only if there is a strong case for encouraging + +[sender/receiver vs. client/server is confusing at best. Cf. ARCH + which tries to be clear wrt "sender gateway" and "recipient gateway", +but uses "client application" for both "originator" and "beneficiary"] + +*Nits* + +15.1 + + RFC 8446 is obsolete, should refer to 9846. + + +
