Dear Rich Salz Thank you kindly for your reply. I did not know that you had authored the drafts. Pleased to collaborate with you. I still think the IETF should reconsider. There are millions (im sure much more) of server OS’s in production around the world representative of many organizations (government/military and public) that cannot support TLS 1.3 natively. 😊
Is it reasonable to expect all organizations to upgrade all this infrastructure in a few years to a Server OS that supports TLS 1.3 when the new pqc algorithms can just be added to TLS 1.2? Respectfully Eddie From: Salz, Rich <rsalz=40akamai....@dmarc.ietf.org> Sent: Thursday, June 5, 2025 2:52 PM To: Arano, Edward <edward.ar...@bofa.com>; tls@ietf.org; Paul Wouters <paul.wout...@aiven.io> Subject: Re: [TLS] Re: Ketan Talaulikar's No Objection on draft-ietf-tls-tls12-frozen-07: (with COMMENT) ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Hello Apologies and not sure if this is the right place to ask this question; but wondering if the IETF will reconsider adding PQC algorithms to TLS 1.2?? Yes, this is the right place to start a conversation. I expect it won’t get very far beyond strong consensus that the answer is no. There is a related draft, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-uta-require-tls13/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-uta-require-tls13/__;!!I2XIyG2ANlwasLbx!RBC6R5rQGVN7u4Ja2ClWKbPcg4O1qAixwDIpl0kaf2599GvCokwCwGolidEO36ZzWnTdlxrrKlGWjHgl-U3UowUsojKIfRvd$> that encourages people to move to TLS 1.3. Both of these have been through the IETF approval process and are waiting for the AD to post a public notice. (Nudge, Paul :) Adding new algorithms to TLS 1.2 requires installing new software, of course. For a variety of reasons, if you must install new software, the IETF view is you should install TLS 1.3.
