[TLS] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-whyte-qsh-tls13-01.txt

[William Whyte <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

We've updated the TLS 1.3 Quantum Safe Handshake draft to use extensions as
suggested by DKG in Prague. All comments welcome.

There's an interesting issue here: McEliece keys, which should be
permissible, are larger in size (about 2^20 bytes) than the maximum
permissible extension size (2^16-1). In order to support McEliece keys it
might be worth increasing the maximum extension size to 2^24-1 for TLS 1.3.
Is there a strong reason for keeping the maximum size at 2^24-1, other than
saving one byte on all the relevant length fields?

Cheers,

William

Abstract:
   This document describes the Quantum-Safe Hybrid ciphersuite, a new
   cipher suite providing modular design for quantum-safe cryptography
   to be adopted in the handshake for the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
   protocol version 1.3.  In particular, it specifies the use of the
   NTRUEncrypt encryption scheme in a TLS handshake.
