Internet-Draft draft-ietf-tls-tlsflags-18.txt is now available. It is a work
item of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) WG of the IETF.

   Title:   A Flags Extension for TLS 1.3
   Author:  Yoav Nir
   Name:    draft-ietf-tls-tlsflags-18.txt
   Pages:   9
   Dates:   2026-09-10

Abstract:

   A number of extensions are proposed in the TLS working group that
   carry no interesting information except the 1-bit indication that a
   certain optional feature is supported.  Such extensions take 4 octets
   each.  This document defines a flags extension that can provide such
   indications at an average marginal cost of 1 bit each.  More
   precisely, it provides as many flag extensions as needed at 4 + the
   order of the last set bit divided by 8.
