+1, Richard pretty much said everything I have concerns about but saved me a lot of typing. mTLS *is* TLS, there's no need to give it a special name for marketing(?) purposes. Having said that, I'd have no problems with a "TLS Profile for xxx", which is what it really seems to be. (And I'll add an obligatory comment that what (m)TLS does isn't mutual authentication, it's unidirectional authentication in both directions, but that boat has long since sailed. If you wanted to have actual mTLS it'd have to use PSK). Peter. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list -- tls@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to tls-le...@ietf.org
