Hi folks, TLS 1.3 has been approved by the IESG and it's on its way to the RFC Editor, so I don't really see this changing any time soon for the base RFC.
I think there's some debate about whether this is a good idea, but in any case, the right way to pursue it would be to publish a new draft, presumably with some extension that says "I speak extended alerts". -Ekr On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 1:55 PM, Bill Frantz <fra...@pwpconsult.com> wrote: > On 3/30/18 at 7:35 PM, pgut...@cs.auckland.ac.nz (Peter Gutmann) wrote: > > As you mention, debugging TLS is unnecessarily painful if there's a >> problem, >> you typically just get a handshake-failed alert which is essentially no >> information at all.
