Hi folks,

Admittedly not a good time to distract people in the ML-KEM battlefield, but cutoff is coming fast, so pardon my distraction.

I would like to share a cleaned up adoption-ready minus one version, i.e., I personally believe draft is in good shape to request for adoption in Vienna, and I request your feedback on what to improve until the cutoff for adoption-ready version.

Main changes are:

   To address David B's comments, all ML-KEM related stuff is gone to a
   separate draft.

   To address Ekr's comments, all litigation is gone now (thanks to
   chairs for addressing them) and the "Verifier" which was creating
   misunderstanding is retired now.

   The substantive addition is a concrete motivational example
   justifying the need of this draft:  Sec. 1.1.1. It presents
   illustrative and motivational example that unverified drafts that
   asked for adoption in this WG have practically led to severe
   exploits in real-world production systems, and FATT process has
   successfully caught those exploits. To facilitate catching those, we
   propose a non-binding document template.

For bunch of new WG participants: a very warm welcome. Request for /adoption/ does not mean it is ready for /publication/; it just means in /author's/ opinion, it is a good /starting/ point for the WG to work on. Please keep that /very important/ distinction in mind while giving your feedback. Thank you!

I look forward to your opinions.

Best,

-Usama

Abstract:

This document applies only to non-trivial extensions of TLS, which
require formal analysis. FATT process has successfully discovered
CVEs of *CVSS 7.5* and most recently expected *CVSS 9.1* in the
*production* implementations of the drafts proposed for adoption in
the TLS WG. To achieve high cryptographic assurances, this document
proposes the drafts specify a clear threat model and informal
security goals in the Security Considerations section, as well as
motivation and a protocol diagram in the draft.
