Hi It would be possible but I’m wondering some things: 1. Are the original authors interested, or are there alternative authors willing to take this on? 2. What is the point? All of the ciphersuites in there have been deprecated by some diediedie document or another, and no sane document author (here or elsewhere) would include any of these 56-bit ciphers in any profile for TLS that is intended to provide security. So what is the benefit? Yoav _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
