Re: [TLS] WG adoption call for draft-tschofenig-tls-dtls-rrc: redux

[Martin Thomson <[e-mail]>]

What Russ said here is important.  However, I don't see any reason that this record should not be protected.

I also think that we can use a content type outside of the scarce range we have for TLS record content types.  This only makes sense for use with DTLS 1.3 and DTLS 1.2 with connection IDs, so we can rely on the content type being encrypted.  That means multiplexing constraints don't apply (they probably wouldn't anyway as this makes no sense for use with ICE).

Finally, I think that the flexible size of the cookie is not necessary.  Pick a fixed size.  Unlike the handshake cookie, there is no reason for this to be stateless.  (I also wouldn't call it a cookie.)

The comments that Martin Duke currently has on the connection ID regarding path validation rules apply more fully here than they do on that draft.  Perhaps we could fix them here.

Please state whether you support adoption of this draft as a WG item by posting a message to the TLS list by 2359 UTC 24 May 2021.  Please include any additional information that is helpful in understanding your position.
