Subject: Results of IETF-conflict review for draft-harkins-tls-dragonfly-02

The IESG has completed a review of draft-harkins-tls-dragonfly-02 consistent
with RFC5742.

The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Secure Password Ciphersuites
for Transport Layer Security (TLS)'  as
an Informational RFC.

The IESG has concluded that this work is related to IETF work done in WG TLS,
but this relationship does not prevent publishing.

The IESG would also like the Independent Submissions Editor to review the
comments in the datatracker related to this document and determine whether or
not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both
the ballot and the history log.

The IESG review is documented at:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/conflict-review-harkins-tls-dragonfly/

A URL of the reviewed Internet Draft is:

The process for such documents is described at

Thank you,

The IESG Secretary

[Ballot comment]
The TLS WG reviewed this draft a long time ago and decided they didn't
want to work on it, and asked that the CFRG look at the underlying dragonfly
Password Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE).  That draft was
controversial, but ultimately got through the CFRG supported by a security
proof.

After the security proof had been completed, the TLS WG was no longer
interested in this draft that uses the dragonfly PAKE. The Cipher Suite
registration rules have been relaxed and with that, it's fine to publish with
the ISE.
