I agree that both (A) and (B) are bad idea, while (C) is sound idea. > (C) is essentially STS for dane chains over TLS with downgrade protection > after first > contact, and imposes no burden on the present implementors.

If one wants to save bandwidth in "cancel pin" case, one could add a flag into request that tells the server if it should transmit DoE or not (if it has actual chain, that should be transmitted anyway). That way, the cancel would only need to be transmitted once to each client, instead of potentially multiple times, and clients that do not support pinning would not waste downstream bandwidth downloading cancels they would ignore anyway. -Ilari _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
