Hi all,

We have posted -10 of draft-reddy-tls-composite-mldsa to address comments
from the WG:
https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url2=draft-reddy-tls-composite-mldsa-10

Main changes from -09:

- Clarified that composite ML-DSA is treated as an opaque signature
algorithm by TLS. The SignatureScheme names mirror the algorithm names in
draft-ietf-lamps-pq-composite-sigs; TLS implementers do not need to be
aware of the internal composite construction details.

-  Added Appendix A explaining why code point registration alone is
insufficient.
-  Added Appendix B addressing the API complexity concern.

Further comments and suggestions are welcome.

Best Regards,
-Tiru

Abstract:

   Compositing the post-quantum ML-DSA signature with traditional
   signature algorithms provides protection against potential breaks or
   critical bugs in ML-DSA or the ML-DSA implementation.  This document
   specifies how such a composite signature can be formed using ML-DSA
   with RSA-PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-PSS, ECDSA, Ed25519, and Ed448 to provide
   authentication in TLS 1.3, including use in certificates.
