Dear colleagues:

 

I think this document should absolutely *not* be adopted, without providing far 
more technical justification. The quoted Raccoon attack is an easy to mitigate 
attack (which has nothing to do with finite field groups, just with poor design 
choices of postprocessing, where one uses variable-size integer representations 
for a key). There are also good reasons to have key exchanges where one of the 
parties has a static key, whether ecc-based or ff-based (e.g., sni, opaque), 
for which secure implementations are known. No detail is provided and that 
alone should be sufficient reason to not adopt.

 

Rene

This is a working group call for adoption for Deprecating FFDH(E) Ciphersuites 
in TLS (draft-bartle-tls-deprecate-ffdhe-00). We had a presentation for this 
draft at the IETF 110 meeting and since it is a similar topic to the key 
exchange deprecation draft the chairs want to get a sense if the working group 
wants to adopt this draft (perhaps the drafts could be merged if both move 
forward).  Please review the draft and post your comments to the list by 
Friday, August 13, 2021.  

 

Thanks,

 

The TLS chairs
