Technical Summary

  This document specifies three sets of new ciphersuites for the
  Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to support authentication
  based on pre-shared symmetric keys.  The first set of ciphersuites
  uses only symmetric key operations for authentication.  The second set
  uses a Diffie-Hellman exchange authenticated with a pre-shared key;
  and the third set combines public key authentication of the server
  with pre-shared key authentication of the client.

Working Group Summary

  The TLS Working Group reached consensus on this document.
