[Alexey Melnikov via Datatracker <[e-mail]>]

This message starts a kitten WG Call for Adoption of:
draft-bokovoy-kitten-pkinit-pqc-02

This Working Group Call for Adoption ends on 2026-10-30

Abstract:
   This document specifies extensions to the Kerberos PKINIT pre-
   authentication mechanism [RFC4556] [RFC8636] to support post-quantum
   key establishment using the Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation
   Mechanism (ML-KEM) algorithms defined in [FIPS203].

   The extensions define a new kemInfo arm in PA-PK-AS-REP, a KDCKEMInfo
   structure signed by the KDC, HKDF-based AS reply key derivation
   (HKDF-SHA-512 for ML-KEM), and downgrade-prevention rules.  The KEM
   path framework supports multiple KEM algorithms including ML-KEM,
   composite ML-KEM algorithms, and future KEM standards.
