Hi all,

On popular demand, I've moved around ML-KEM from draft-usama-tls-fatt-extension [0] to a draft of its own.

If you have read my FATT draft [0], there is only one new -- just two-minutes read -- section (Sec. 2.1), but it is the most important one, where I show precisely where my [1] (and Karthik et al.'s [2]) existing TLS 1.3 proofs in ProVerif break and why FATT review is necessary. I believe this is sufficient justification for FATT review.

Just to clarify: I meant Sec. 2.1 of my hot new draft [4]. Apologies for any confusion.

I am looking for constructive feedback on the technical objection in Sec. 2.1. Please do not go off-topic. Thank you!

For off-topic items, issues and PRs are welcome at [3].

I will ask for a slot to present it in Vienna.

Sincerely,

-Usama

Title: Risks of Standalone ML-KEM in TLS 1.3

Group: Individual Submission
Pages: 8

Abstract:

We attest that standalone ML-KEM in TLS 1.3 breaks the existing
formal proofs of TLS in state-of-the-art symbolic security analysis
tool, ProVerif. We also attest that from a formal analysis
perspective, this is a much bigger change than RFC8773bis, which
indeed went for FATT review (cf. [TLS-FATT]). We, therefore, kindly
ask the chairs to initiate the FATT review of standalone ML-KEM in
TLS.
