Hello, I've submitted: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mavrogiannopoulos-tls-dss-00 The purpose is to define choices for the hash algorithm to be used for the TLS handshake and eventually make the hash algorithm selection for the DSS signature standard deterministic. That is because DSS as a standard allows the usage of any SHAx hash function truncated or not. For example given 256-bit curve, I could use SHA-256, or SHA-384 truncated to 256 bits, or SHA-512 truncated to 256 bits, to sign. This document tries to restrict the choices to promote interoperability. This is in line with rfc5480 that does the same thing for PKIX ECDSA certificates. regards, Nikos
