Hello,

  I support adoption, will probably implement it, and definitely
use it.

  As I mentioned at IETF 123, I do not think having multiple choices
for basically the same thing is a wise and I think the choice the
authors made to do SPAKE2+ was a mistake*. I would encourage paring
this down to a balanced PAKE (CPace) and an asymmetric PAKE (OPAQUE).

  regards,

  Dan.

* If a discrete logarithm for M is discovered then SPAKE2+ is broken.
While I do not think there is a backdoor in the H2C-derived M in the
draft, it is a high value target and a (unnecessary) weak point in
a system.

At IETF 122 & 123 we discussed draft-bmw-tls-pake13 [0]. The sense of room @ 
both sessions was that there was support for working on PAKEs in TLS.

This email starts the WG adoption call for draft-bmw-tls-pake13. If you support 
adoption and are willing to review and contribute text, please send a message 
to the list. If you do not support adoption of this draft, please send a 
message to the list and indicate why. This call will close at 2359 UTC on 07 
August 2025.

Cheers,
Deirdre, Joe, and Sean
