Technical Summary
This document defines several new cipher suites for the Transport
Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The cipher suites are all based on
the Ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman with Pre-Shared Key
(ECDHE_PSK) key exchange together with the Authenticated Encryption
with Associated Data (AEAD) algorithms AES-GCM and AES-CCM. PSK
provides light and efficient authentication, ECDHE provides perfect
forward secrecy, and AES-GCM and AES-CCM provides encryption and
integrity protection.
Working Group Summary
There is general support for this document in the working group.
The main issues focused around trimming down the list of cipher
suites to the minimum number required.
Document Quality
The document has been review by the TLS working group. The SecDir
review triggered additional useful conversation and draft updates.
