Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard.
Major issues: 0.
Minor issues: 0.
Nits/editorial comments: 2
1) S1, paragraph two ("These applications ... requirements:") - If
I understand this correctly, I believe that the intent here is
to export the keying material to the application that is
co-resident with the TLS/DTLS process, not to an external
application. Just to be sure, maybe stating this may help
uninitiated readers ... something like:
OLD:
These applications imply a need to be able to export keying material
(later called Exported Keying Material or EKM) from TLS/DTLS, and
securely agree on the upper-layer context where the keying material
will be used.
NEW:
These applications imply a need to be able to export keying material
(later called Exported Keying Material or EKM) from TLS/DTLS to the
application residing on the upper layer, and securely agree on
the upper-layer context where the keying material will be used.
2) S1, second bullet item:
s/random/random values
or
s/random/random data
Thanks,
