Re: [TLS] New Internet-Draft: draft-housley-tls-tls13-cert-with-extern-psk-00

Hi Russ,

This seems like a welcome addition.  I'm not sure why you think that
PQ needs are a good motivation for this work though.  Managing
external PSKs is so unwieldy that it almost seems like this would do
more harm than good in that regard.  I find this more interesting from
the perspective of providing continuing proof of possession for keys
while also permitting the use of 0-RTT (and session continuation more
generally).

FWIW, I don't see any reason that this approach would be a problem
given that it is additive, the problem that Sam Scott et. al. from
before was a result of important contextual information being omitted
from the transcript.

Why didn't you consider a new codepoint on psk_key_exchange_modes that
permits/requires use of the certificate?  The purpose of that
extension is to signal that a) you want PSK, and b) what additional
things are permitted alongside that PSK.

It's not clear from your text on client certificate authentication
whether your mode permits the server to omit its Certificate, but then
send CertificateRequest.  You should clarify that one way or other.
