Re: [TLS] Confirming consensus: TLS1.3->TLS*

Hi all, The point is we are now indeed on draft 18. Changing the name now is very problematic because everybody on the mailinglist already calls it TLS 1.3, for a long time and no matter what you do, a lot of us (who are hopefully the experts) will keep referring to it under that name. If you

[TLS] Diffie-Hellman: value of Z - the shared secret - without leading zero octets

2016-03-28 Thread Maarten Bodewes
Hi all, I see that the leading zero is stripped off of the value of Z (the shared secret) before it is used as input to HKDF. This seems to be compatible with TLS 1.2. Then again, it is not compatible with e.g. NISP800-56A which uses the value of Z with the same size of the prime in octets.
