You came to that conclusion; many other folks disagreed. You stated that you thought it was not useful in some environments, namely with RSA authentication where the client has a broken PRNG. If that is the only environment you care about, then this extension is not useful. TLS is used in many other environments, of course. --Paul Hoffman, Director --VPN Consortium _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
