Reviewer: Rich Salz Review result: Has Nits I'm the SECDIR reviewer for this document. This is a TLS WG draft, so everyone reading this should know what that means. If not, ask. :) As the opening sentence says, "This document provides usage guidance for external Pre-Shared Keys (PSKs) in Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 as defined in RFC 8446." PSKs are useful and important for those who do not wish to deploy a PKI or for whom symmetric trust is useful. I like section 4.1 which goes into detail about the problems with sharing keys among more than two parties. Section 6 is a good summary of use-cases with references. These sections should prove as valuable as section 7, which is presumably the heart of the document. Section 7.1 is not common for an IETF RFC, and shows evidence that the authors have some scars from experiments or deployments. It is nice to see. Section 8 says "The unique identifier can, for example, be one of its MAC addresses..." I thought we are moving away from that and I would prefer to see an explicit justification of why this is okay. I think this is a nit-level issue, and the only one I found. I also do suggest, however, that the draft be sent to the UTA working group and ask for comments from them as they're more application-focused like this document it. -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
