 ``Name`` is the only required element in an Interest packet.
 ``Nonce`` is required when an Interest is transmitted over the network links, i.e., a compliant forwarder must augment the Interest with the ``Nonce`` element if it is missing.
 ``CanBePrefix``, ``MustBeFresh``, ``InterestLifetime``, and ``ForwardingHint`` are optional elements to guide Interest matching or forwarding.
-Interest can also include an optional ``Parameters`` element.
+Interest can also include an optional ``ApplicationParameters`` element.
 
 As recommended by :ref:`TLV evolvability guidelines <evolvability>`, unrecognized non-critical TLV elements may appear in the Interest packet.
 However, they must not appear before the ``Name`` element.

+The parameters digest component (``ParametersSha256DigestComponent``) contains the SHA-256 digest computed over the portion of an Interest starting from and including the ``ApplicationParameters`` element until the end of the Interest.
 This digest provides uniqueness of the Interest name for a given set of parameters and securely ensures that the retrieved Data packet is a response generated against the correct set of parameters.

+This component MUST appear in an Interest name if the Interest contains a ``ApplicationParameters`` element.
 The position of the component is determined by the application protocol.
 Generally, it should be at the end of the name but before version/segment numbers.
 Producers should recompute the digest over the specified portion of a received Interest, and drop the Interest if the computed digest does not match the parameters digest component in the name.
