Hi,

the example handshake traces for TLS 1.3 (RFC8448) seems not to fully
comply to the TLS 1.3 standard (RFC8446).

RFC8446 in 4.2.3. says that an implementation must not offer deprecated
algorithms in the signature algorithms extension:

"In TLS 1.2, the extension contained hash/signature pairs.  The
pairs are encoded in two octets, so SignatureScheme values have
been allocated to align with TLS 1.2's encoding.  Some legacy
pairs are left unallocated.  These algorithms are deprecated as of
TLS 1.3.  They MUST NOT be offered or negotiated by any
implementation.  In particular, MD5 [SLOTH], SHA-224, and DSA
MUST NOT be used."

RFC8448 shows in 3. an example with a ClientHello message containing a
signature algorithms extension with the deprecated algorithms 0x0402,
0x0502, 0x0602, and 0x0202, which all refer to the DSA algorithm, which
must not be used with TLS 1.3.

Best regards,

Tobias Reiher
