The IESG has approved the following document: - 'PQ/T Hybrid Key Exchange with ML-KEM in SSH' (draft-ietf-sshm-mlkem-hybrid-kex-09.txt) as Informational RFC
This document is the product of the Secure Shell Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sshm-mlkem-hybrid-kex/ Technical Summary This document defines Post-Quantum Traditional (PQ/T) Hybrid key exchange methods based on the quantum-resistant the Module-Lattice- Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM) standard and traditional Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) key exchange schemes. These methods are defined for use in the SSH Transport Layer Protocol. Working Group Summary There was heated discussion around both this draft and draft-ietf-sshm-ntruprime-ssh (currently in the editor's queue). The working group consensus is that both specifications will be the same when it comes to the IANA recommendation for implementers (that they SHOULD be implemented) and the type of RFC desired (Informational). See the shepherd's writeup for more detail. Document Quality Implementations exist, they are noted on the mailing list. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Stephen Farrell. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
