In descending order of preference: 1) TLS 2.0 or TLS 2 2) TLS 1.3 3) TLS 4 There is no versioning here that doesn't have a confusion risk. Some people worry about an SSL/TLS 2.0 confusion. I worry that TLS 1.3 won't be taken with as much seriousness/urgency at a glance by those with a lower technical understanding (too many of us resort to "it's really like TLS 2" when trying to explain the leap). TLS 4 or elventybillion just forces people to answer the "what happened to TLS 3" question forever, without really making anything more clear. The confusion a big number jump tries to avoid is far better addressed by experts finally stopping with the SSL/TLS conflation. If the consensus is to keep the status quo, in spite of major changes that would normally dictate a major version bump, that's unfortunate... but the world will not implode. :/ Dave PS I suspect that a push for a major version bump a year and a half ago would've had more support, but many of us who are currently in favor of it were still in the "meh, whatever" camp. Oh well. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
