I am scared of a freeform string, because in the end it would need to handle internationalization (because somebody will think it's usefull information to print to the user) etc etc... thus we might later need a TLS extension to specify the language, encodings and so on. It might be too much for such a protocol! About the extension to 16bit... I'm not totally against, but unless TLS 1.2 is significantly different[0] than 1.1, I wouldn't go for it. [0]. In the sense that if there too many incompatible changes, one more doesn't harm :) regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
