Dear list, This email is in regards to draft-celi-wiggers-tls-authkem. We’ve only made some minor fixes to the authentication-via-KEM proposal that we submitted and presented at the last IETF meeting (IETF111) at the working group. We did receive a few questions and comments on the draft during t

Let me emphasize the reasons Douglas brought up. Note that I need to use NIST Sec Level 5 algorithms. So, Kyber-1024 and Dilithium5 (other algorithms show even worse ratio between KEM and signature!). Communications costs: - Difference in public key sizes: 1568 bytes of Kyber vs. 2592 bytes of

Hi Eric, The main motivation is that, in some cases, post-quantum signatures are larger in terms of communication size compared to a post-quantum KEM, under the same cryptographic assumption. For example, the KEM Kyber (based on module LWE) at the 128-bit security level has 800-byte public k

Hi folks, I have just given draft-celi-wiggers-tls-authkem-00.txt a quick read. I'm struggling a bit with the rationale, which I take to be these paragraphs: In this proposal we use the DH-based KEMs from [I-D.irtf-cfrg-hpke]. We believe KEMs are especially worth discussing in the context o
