Hi TLS folks, Those who have worked with me know that I hate doing unnecessary work. It occurred to me that the TLS WG has been doing a lot of unnecessary work on drafts that just register crypto algorithms. This draft proposes that we shouldn't do that.

Name: draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email Revision: 00 Title: Stop Doing Cryptographic Algorithm Drafts when Email to IANA is All You Need Date: 2026-02-24 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 5 URL: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email-00.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email/ HTML: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email-00.html HTMLized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email Abstract: People keep pitching drafts to the TLS Working Group where the only thing the draft does is register a code point for a cryptographic algorithm. Stop doing that. It's unnecessary. Write an email to IANA instead. The IETF Secretariat
