> A much better title would be "Mixing Preshared Keys in IKEv2 for Postquantum Resistance". 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. ___

other hand, this specific draft doesn't involve any postquantum algorithms; it relies only on currently accepted algorithms, and so Kenny's caution would not apply. > -Original Message- > From: Salz, Rich > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2019 11:23 AM > To: last-

We are seeing a flurry of these kind of “post quantum protection” things. This is premature. The co-chair of the CFRG, Kenny Paterson, said so awhile back. At best, this should be EXPERIMENTAL. I would like to see an IESG policy that makes all drafts on this topic be EXPERIMENTAL.
