Hi TLS-WG,

The Internet Draft can be found over here:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-zauner-tls-aes-ocb/

Further discussion very welcome.

One of the things I have in mind, right now there're two PSK
ciphersuites defined (that I defined because they're in CCM and GCM
as well) that do not make much sense in my opinion. These are PSK
with DHE. For embedded devices the use of ECDHE is for sure more
suitable. So removing those would be an option. Right now this ID
would add twelve (12) new ciphersuites to the TLS ciphersuite
registry, if we /can/ get rid of these two we're down to ten (10).

As always; any input appreciated,
Aaron
