Hi! At the IETF 117 TLS session we discussed the following:

* ECH (draft-ietf-tls-esni and draft-ietf-tls-wkech): We learned about existing 
deployment experiments with Firefox, Chrome, and Cloudflare. Some issues are 
being investigated and more experiments are going to be done, but the 
experiments returned encouraging results. Based on these, the author team plans 
to move into a mode of either addressing or closing issues with a plan for a 
new version of the ECH I-D to be released sometime around IETF 118.  The 
ultimate goal is to get the ECH I-D to the IESG sometime in early 2024 (assumes 
everything goes smoothly).

* Abridged Certificates (draft-jackson-tls-cert-abridge): This is a new 
certificate compression scheme that looks very promising. The sense of the room 
was positive and the chairs will issue a WG call for adoption shortly.

* TLS 1.2 is Frozen (draft-rsalz-tls-tls12-frozen): The I-D is going to be 
split in two. The part that provides how to use any guidance into UTA. The part 
that stays will be the text (possibly short) that says TLS 1.2 is feature 
frozen.

* Update on post-quantum signatures (from NIST): NIST is running another round 
of their competition because there aren't any good, performant and small, 
signature algorithms yet.  Many of the algorithms have already fallen. We will 
see how the process ends.

* An AOB topic about Exported Authenticators: There is some interest from the 
HTTPbis WG in the possibility of clients just client certificate without being 
requested by server.  Will need security proofs.

Cheers,
spt
