This will be of interest to some on this list.  Quoting: “The NCCoE
at NIST recognizes the challenges associated with compliance,
operations, and security when enterprises employ encrypted protocols,
in particular Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3, in their data
centers. This project will use commercially available technologies to
demonstrate a range of approaches for enabling necessary
intra-enterprise access to unencrypted/decrypted information.

I'm glad I'm not a tax payer in a jurisdiction that's
encouraging people to weaken the security properties this
WG has tried hard to improve. I wonder do other parts of
NIST sponsor work like that - it'd be a bit like [1]
producing specs on how to get your thumb on the scales;-)

From my perspective this kind of thing also makes it harder
to figure out what overall evaluation to associate with the
agency that produced AES, dual-ec, this stuff, and presumably
some PQ alg "winners" in the near future. Quite the mixed
bag that.

Cheers,
S.
