I think an introductory section on "normal and exceptional flow of control" or such would help. It could also define consistent terminology to be used in the rest of the document. To take a stab at it: Close -- means cleanly close the connection at some point after the necessary alerts have been sent etc Teminate -- to close the connection unexpectedly, such as when an one side detects an error. In these cases, an alert SHOULD be sent before the TCP connection is closed. (Do we bind/imply TCP?) I would use this instead of the term abort.
Yes, most of that text is in lines 3422ff. Put them up earlier. Then, throughout the rest of the doc, we use things like "if not consistent, terminate the handshake with illegal_parameter" I can live with the current PR tho. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
