This has already been answered several times both in the draft and previously in the discussion, but here it is again, re-posting one of the previous replies: The difference is that TLS 1.3 requires a complete new protocol stack while the draft is a minimal tweak to a few known problem areas in TLS 1.2 while being compatible with existing infrastructure built around 1.2 (or 1.0 in some cases) - newer devices get 1.2TLS, existing ones stay on 1.2/1.0 until they get replaced. They're completely different things. Peter. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list -- tls@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to tls-le...@ietf.org
