[Geopriv] Measurement security update

Last week I posted an update to draft-thomson-geopriv-held-measurements. This update contains a completely new privacy and security sections. The new security section contains text based on what we discussed at IETF-77 [1].

The updated draft can be found here:
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-thomson-geopriv-held-measurements-06>

As Ted sagely observed, the security story is a little depressing. At this stage, I've concentrated on identifying the threat.

That said, there are some hints in the document on mechanisms that might provide some remediation. The proposed measurement request is intended to enable these sorts of solutions.
