There’s might be a relationship between the DICE profile and this draft in the 
future.

The DICE draft profiles the existing set of cipher suites that are already 
defined for IoT; the complete list can be found here:
https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#tls-parameters-4

draft-ietf-tls-ecdhe-psk-aead is adding more algorithms to that list.  The DICE 
profile can be updated later to include these newly defined cipher suites if 
that’s what the WG wants to do.

Make sense?
