That's better.

I misunderstood the document as both you and David Mcgrew kindly explained.  I 
withdraw my concerns and hope the title is changed.


I am fine with the title change (and publication). We have long ago
implemented this and performed a number of interop tests.

Should we consider this a last call comment?

This is the only one I have seen that is a method, not a new key 
exchange algorithm. It is understandable that you could have missed this 
from the title which misstates the topic. A much better title would be 
"Mixing Preshared Keys in IKEv2 for Postquantum Resistance".



This is premature.


Disagree. The method described in the document has been well-discussed 
in the IPsecME for years, getting good cryptographic review.



The co-chair of the CFRG, Kenny Paterson, said so awhile back.


I don't think that's what he said in the slides you posted, but I've 
Cc'd him so he can reply. The slides are about picking new post-quantum 
algorithms; what is described in the draft is a method for mixing in 
preshared secrets with current algorithms.
