Re: [Lake] EDHOC state machine (Was: edhoc end game: detailed plan)

[[e-mail]]

Hi all,

 

I find having the state machine very useful.

 

I confess to have only partially implemented EDHOC (up to all Message_2
exchanges as per the sig/dh traces), but completion has been down to a lack
of spare time.

 

Regards

 

Jon

All comments on the PR have been supportive, see

https://github.com/lake-wg/edhoc/pull/373

 

This includes all people that expressed concerns during IETF 115. So there
are at the moment 5 voices in favor, none known or suspected against. More
input is requested, supportive or not.

Ah. At this point, now that we've hit publication requested,

I think a change like this needs positive backing, given that

people expressed concerns about the possibility that state

machine text could lead to delays.

 

So I think the default position needs to remain that the

state machine text be omitted until we see sufficient

indication that the WG would like to include that.


I was one of the persons expressed concerns about the possibility that state
machine text could lead to delays. After reading the current suggestion I
don’t have these concerns anymore. The state machine seems quite simple and
it is just an informative example. Three different developers has expressed
(I think publically on GitHub but it might have been offline) that they
think this is very useful. Given this I am personally positive to include
it.

Cheers,
John
