Body: ITU-T Working Party 4/13 would like to inform you that Q16/13 is 
developing the new draft Recommendation related to QKD and TLS integration 
framework.

Draft Recommendation ITU-T Y.QKD-TLS specifies the framework for integration of 
QKD and TLS, including overview, requirements, reference model and basic 
operation of QKD and TLS integration.

The work item is intended to provide pre-shared keys (PSKs) from QKDNs for 
cryptographic applications based on TLS protocol to enhance its security 
against quantum computing cracking. The procedure of PSK integration into TLS 
follows IETF RFC8446.

This information is for your comments and we look forward to collaborating with 
you in this area.
