One small nit.

> ECDHE provides perfect forward secrecy
I thought we had decided to change “perfect forward secrecy” to just “forward secrecy” since “perfect” is such a difficult standard to reach?

    Nits:
    
    	RFC 4279 reference is missing.
    MGLT: It seems the reference is mentioned in the current version in the Normative reference as well  as in the introduction at line 127,  in section 3 line 143. In case you meant another reference, please let us know. 
    
    
    
    	"TLS 1.3 and above version, " should probably be "TLS 1.3 and above" or "TLS 1.3 and higher versions"
    MGLT: Changed to "TLS 1.3 and higher versions"
