[TLS] Re: LS on the work item related to QKD and TLS integration framework in SG13

["Scott Fluhrer (sfluhrer)" <[e-mail]>]

Actually, some people are taking QKD seriously, and so just ignoring the LS may be unwise.

I'm not sure what such an LS response ought to be, though.  Telling them to make sure they use RFC 8773 would be one obvious step (so that the QKD can't make things worse), but their LS makes it sound like they want cooperation, not just advice.  And, I suspect that this working group, as a whole, isn't interested.

Of course, they can (or anyone else) could make an individual submission to the TLS working group.  I'm not sure if pointing that out would be helpful.

I don't think any response is necessary.  I see little risk of people taking QKD seriously, so nor should we.
