The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG (tls) to
consider the following document: - 'ML-KEM Post-Quantum Key Agreement for TLS
1.3'
  <draft-ietf-tls-mlkem-09.txt> as Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the

Abstract


   This memo defines ML-KEM-512, ML-KEM-768, and ML-KEM-1024 as
   NamedGroups and registers IANA values in the TLS Supported Groups
   registry for use in TLS 1.3 to achieve post-quantum (PQ) key
   establishment.
