Hi Russ, Many thanks for taking the time to review.
Before we dig into the issues raised, I’d like to check to see if your comments spring from the doc misleading due to bad wording, or if you have in mind a deeper issue. What the doc is trying to express (and we will refactor a little to make this clearer), is that: * Implementations MUST always support the core implementation of mutual Cert based authentication. There is always the core of “compatibility” * Implementations MAY support other options as these options mature and are widely accepted, such as PSK, RPK * Deployments do not have to use Cert based if implementations support these other options. I suspect that this may not actually address your real concerns though: please let us know if the issues you see are deeper than the implementation/deployment matrix of options. Many Thanks!

These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the Security Area Directors. Document authors, document editors, and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other IETF Last Call comments. Document: draft-ietf-opsawg-tacacs-tls13-10 Reviewer: Russ Housley Review Date: 2024-07-01 IETF LC End Date: Unknown IESG Telechat date: Unknown Summary: Not Ready Major Concerns: Section 3.2.2 says: "Certificate based mutual authentication MUST be supported." I assume that this means that it MUST be supported, but I does not have to be used. However, the next sentence seems to require certificates, Section 3.2.2: With the removal of the reference to [RFC8773], how is the requirement for certificates accomplished while also using external PSKs? I am unaware of any other way to do so. Section 3.2.2 says: "...[RFC7250] must be used in context of [RFC8446]". How is the requirement for certificates accomplished with raw public keys? I am unaware of any way to do so. Minor Concerns: None Nits: None
