The IESG has approved changing the status of the following document: - TLS Elliptic Curve Cipher Suites with SHA-256/384 and AES Galois Counter Mode (GCM) (rfc5289) to Proposed Standard This document action is documented at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-uplifting-rfc5289-to-ps/ A URL of the affected document is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5289/ Status Change Details: As part of the work on TLS1.3 the TLS working group have decided to distinguish standards track ciphersuites from others. Some of the ciphersuites documented in RFC5289 are very widely used yet that RFC is informational, hence this status-change. The working group discussed this a number of times as a part of their changes to how TLS ciphersuites are categorised. The decision to go ahead with the status change is documented in this [1] thread.
