The main argument I see from the RFC for deterministic ECDSA is computing k
on systems without high quality entropy sources. But any system running a
TLS stack is already going to have a high quality entropy source for
client/server randoms and IVs and such, so what's the benefit of
deterministic ECDSA here?
