Abstract


   Encrypted ClientHello (ECH) key pairs need to be configured into TLS
   servers, that can be built using different TLS libraries, so there is
   a benefit and little cost in documenting a file format to use for
   these key pairs, similar to how RFC7468 defines other PEM file
   formats.
