Hi Sam, all, I'd like to again raise the issues I pointed out in https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/kitten/13pPj4E3-gYwpbu2K844uI1BPoU/ . This draft hasn't received enough security analysis, and further, I pointed out a specific security issue that remains unaddressed. Using the same label for

Sorry to be difficult, but as I said, I'd prefer to focus not on the question of the header of this document but rather on what we wish 8446 said. To that end, what text do you think should go in 8446-bis? -Ekr On Sat, Oct 2, 2021 at 6:29 PM Sam Whited wrote: > Even if linking this in updates

I'd be okay with that provided we can release an update if such an analysis is ever done? Although this is such a low-stakes issue that I worry that the prejudicial value of such a statement far outweighs the security value. I don't feel strongly about it though. —Sam On October 3, 2021 1:06:

Even if linking this in updates implied confidence (though I don't think it does), TLS alread implies confidence in its own EKM mechanism. I don't believe this document expands on that. For example, it does not detail any particular use of channel binding. —Sam On Sat, Oct 2, 2021, at 13:12, Eri

This is just a registration with IANA more than anything else; this required almost no work compared to the many people and many years spent on TLS. I don't believe marking this as an update implies any flaw in TLS, or any presumption that this is somehow its equal in terms of effort. This isn't a

No, I am saying that I have seen people implement custom solutions to problems in an RFC because they don't realize that there is a related RFC that fixes those problems (or suggests how to do whatever tangential thing they needed to implement). Having a link in the related RFCs make things easier

I have to respectfully disagree with this. Anecdotally, RFCs are hard to discover. Having them linked from a logical place in other RFCs is one way that discovery happens, and if you're looking for how to do channel bindings with TLS the first place you're going to look is the TLS RFC (and its lis

I don't believe that this document should update 8446. As noted in S 1, we didn't define these bindings because we didn't have complete analysis. This document doesn't seem to either contain or reference such analysis and until we have that, I think RFC 8446 shouldn't be retconned into endorsing th
