‎Dear colleagues,

Thank you for this discussion!

To be honest, I cannot imagine an adversary model (with any relation to practice) for TLS, for which AES-192 would be useful - I agree with Kenny about related-key attacks here.

So I don't see any strong points to add AES-192 to 1.3 too. 

Best regards,
Stanislav Smyshlyaev

Speaking without my co-chair's hat on...

I don't think related-key attacks are a particular concern for TLS. So I
don't think there's a strong argument for supporting AES-192 in the TLS
1.3 protocol specification.

Anyone else from CFRG have an opinion on this?

Cheers

Kenny
