An extension would work, except that I believe that extensions in HelloRetryRequest are going to carry somewhat different semantics to those in other Hello messages. If we go to dynamically generated groups, then we can easily define a new FFDHE code point to signal the use of a dynamic group. Though I think that I'd be sad about having to always spend an extra round trip if it came to that. Also, it's not much, but the explicit field keeps the message (a tiny bit) smaller and easier to process. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
