I was just looking at the IANA cipher suite registry for TLS: http://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#tls-parameters-4 and noticed: 0xC0,0xA6 TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CCM Y [RFC6655] 0xC0,0xA7 TLS_DHE_PSK_WITH_AES_256_CCM Y [RFC6655] 0xC0,0xAA TLS_PSK_DHE_WITH_AES_128_CCM_8 Y [RFC6655] 0xC0,0xAB TLS_PSK_DHE_WITH_AES_256_CCM_8 Y [RFC6655] Why are the _CCM variants called DHE_PSK while the _CCM_8 variants are called PSK_DHE? Shouldn't the _CCM_8 cipher suites be named the same as the _CCM cipher suites, except with _8 at the end? --Patrick
