Abstract

   This document changes the IANA registry policy for a number of
   registries related to DTLS and TLS, renames some of the registries
   for consistency, and adds notes to many of the registries.  As a
   result, this document updates many RFCs (see updates header).

2.  Introduction

   This document requests that IANA make changes to a number of DTLS-
   and TLS-related IANA registries.

   In this document, we use the term "(D)TLS" to refer to registries
   that apply to both TLS and DTLS.

   o  Add "TLS" to registries' names for consistency with other TLS-
      related registries.

   o  Change the IANA registry policy [RFC5226] for the TLS
      ExtensionType Values, TLS Cipher Suite, and TLS
      ClientCertificateType Identifiers registries.  These changes
      register a small part of these code spaces for experimentation and
      private use.

Internet-Draft         D/TLS IANA Registry Updates          January 2017

   o  Add the designated expert intructions as a note to the TLS
      ExtensionType Values, TLS Cipher Suite, and TLS
      ClientCertificateType Identifiers registries to inform users of
      the registry.

   o  Add notes to indicate whether an extension, certain values of an
      extension, or an entire registry is only applicable pre-(D)TLS
      1.3.

   o  Rename the NewSessionTicket TLS HandshakeType message registry
      entry [RFC5077] to new_session_ticket to match the naming
      nomenclature for the other Handshake type names and to match with
      existing implementations.

   o  Rename the SessionTicket TLS to session_ticket to match the
      nomenclature for the other extensions' names.

   o  Add missing entry to the TLS Alert Registry for the
      no_application_protocol alert defined in [RFC7301]

   This document proposes no changes to the registration policies for
   TLS Alert [I-D.ietf-tls-tls13], TLS ContentType [I-D.ietf-tls-tls13],
   TLS HandshakeType, [I-D.ietf-tls-tls13] and TLS Certificate Status
   Types [RFC6961]; the existing policies (Standards Action for the
   first three; IETF Review for the last), are appropriate for these
   one-byte code points because of their scarcity.

   This document proposes no changes to the EC Curve Type, EC Point
   Format, and Supported Groups Registries (see
   [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4492bis]).

3.  Add "TLS" to Registry Names

   IANA is to update the names of the following registries to add "TLS"
   to for consistency with the other TLS-related extensions:

   o  Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) Protocol IDs,

   o  ExtensionType Values,

   o  Heartbeat Message Types,

   o  Heartbeat Modes, and

   o  Supported Groups.

   IANA is also to add a reference to this document for the registry
   whose names have been updated as a result of the above change.  The

Internet-Draft         D/TLS IANA Registry Updates          January 2017

   remainder of this document will use the registry names with the "TLS"
   prefix.

4.  Aligning with RFC 5226

   Many of the TLS-related IANA registries were defined prior to
   [RFC5226] where "IETF Consensus" was used instead of the
   RFC5226-defined "IETF Review".  To align with the new terminology,
   IANA is to update to use "IETF Review" in place of "IETF Consensus"
   in the following registries:

   o  TLS Authorization Data Formats

   o  TLS Supplemental Data Formats (SupplementalDataType)

   This is not a universal change as some registries originally defined
   with "IETF Consensus" are undergoing other changes either as a result
   of this document or [I-D.ietf-tls-rfc4492bis].

5.  TLS ExtensionType Values

   IANA is to update the TLS ExtensionType Values registry as follows:

   o  Change the registry policy to:

      Values with the first byte in the range 0-254 (decimal) are
      assigned via Specification Required [RFC5226].  Values with the
      first byte 255 (decimal) are reserved for Private Use [RFC5226].

   o  Update the "References" to also refer to this document.

   o  Add the following note:

      Note: Experts are to verify that there is in fact a publicly
      available standard.

   o  Add a "Recommended" column with the contents as listed below.
      This table has been generated by marking Standards Track RFCs as
      "Yes" and all others as "No".  Future extensions MUST define the
      value of this column.  A Standards Track document [RFC5226] is
      required to register an extension with the value "Yes".

         +----------------------------------------+-------------+
         | Extension                              | Recommended |
         +----------------------------------------+-------------+
         | server_name                            |         Yes |

6.  TLS Cipher Suite Registry

   IANA is to update the TLS Cipher Suite registry as follows:

   o  Change the registry policy to:

      Values with the first byte in the range 0-254 (decimal) are
      assigned via Specification Required [RFC5226].  Values with the
      first byte 255 (decimal) are reserved for Private Use [RFC2434].

   o  Add a "Recommended" column to the cipher suite registry.  The
      cipher suites that follow in the two tables are marked as "Yes".
      All other cipher suites are marked as "No".

   The cipher suites that follow are standards track server-
   authenticated (and optionally client-authenticated) cipher suites
   which are currently available in TLS 1.2.  The notable exception are
   the ECDHE AES GCM cipher suites which are not yet standards track
   prior to the publication of this specification, but this document
   promotes those 4 cipher suites to standards track (see TO-DO insert
   reference).

   Cipher Suite Name                             | Value
   ----------------------------------------------+------------
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256           | {0x00,0x9E}
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384           | {0x00,0x9F}
   TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256       | {0xC0,0x2B}
   TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384       | {0xC0,0x2C}
   TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256         | {0xC0,0x2F}
   TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384         | {0xC0,0x30}
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CCM                  | {0xC0,0x9E}
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CCM                  | {0xC0,0x9F}
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CCM_8                | {0xC0,0xA2}
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CCM_8                | {0xC0,0xA3}
   TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256   | {0xCC,0xA8}
   TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 | {0xCC,0xA9}
   TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256     | {0xCC,0xAA}

   The cipher suites that follow are standards track ephemeral pre-
   shared key cipher suites which are available in TLS 1.2.  [RFC6655]
   is inconsistent with respect to the ordering of components within PSK
   AES CCM cipher suite names; those names are used here without
   modification.

      WARNING: Cryptographic algorithms will be broken or weakened over
      time.  Blindly implementing cipher suites listed here is not
      advised.  Implementers and users need to check that the

      previous versions of TLS, TLS 1.3 cipher suites are defined
      differently, only specifying the symmetric ciphers, and cannot it
      be used for TLS 1.2.  Similarly, TLS 1.2 and lower cipher suites
      cannot be used with TLS 1.3.

      Note(2): Cipher suites marked as "Yes" are those allocated via
      Standards Track RFCs.  Cipher suites marked as "No" are not;
      cipher suites marked "No" range from "good" to "bad" from a
      cryptographic standpoint.

      Note(3): The designated expert [RFC5226] only ensures that the
      specification is publically available.

7.  TLS ClientCertificateType Identifiers

   IANA is to update the TLS ClientCertificateType Identifiers registry
   as follows:

   o  Change the registry policy to:

      Values in the range 0-223 are assigned via Specification Required
      [RFC5226].  Values 224-255 are are reserved for Private Use.

   o  Add the following:

      Note: The designated expert [RFC5226] only ensures that the
      specification is publically available.

8.  New Session Ticket TLS Handshake Message Type

   To align with TLS implementations and to align the naming
   nomenclature for other Handshake message types, IANA is to rename
   entry 4 in the TLS HandshakeType registry to "new_session_ticket
   (renamed from NewSessionTicket)".  IANA is to also add a reference to
   this document in the Reference column for entry 4 in the TLS
   HandshakeType registry.

9.  Session Ticket TLS Extension

   The nomenclature for the registry entries in the TLS ExtensionType
   Values registry correspond to the presentation language field name
   except for entry 35.  To ensure that the values in the registry are
   consistently identified in the registry, IANA is to rename entry 35
   to "session_ticket (renamed from "SessionTicket TLS")".

10.  TLS Exporter Label Registry

   IANA is to add the following note to the TLS Exporter Label Registry:

Note: {{RFC5705}} defines keying material exporters for TLS in terms of the TLS PRF. {{I-D.ietf-tls-tls13}} replaced the PRF with HKDF, thus requiring a new construction. The exporter interface remains the same, however the value is computed different.

11.  Add Missing Item to TLS Alert Registry

   IANA is to add the following entry to the TLS Alert Registry (the
   entry was omitted from the IANA instructions in [RFC7301]):

   120   no_application_protocol  Y  [RFC7301]

12.  Orphaned Extensions

   To make it clear that (D)TLS 1.3 has orphaned certain extensions
   (i.e., they are only applicable to version of (D)TLS prior to 1.3),
   IANA is to add the following to the TLS ExtensionType Values
   registry:

Note: The following extensions are only applicable to (D)TLS protocol vesions prior to 1.3: truncated_hmac, srp, encrypt_then_mac, extended_master_secret, session_ticket, and renegotiation_info. These are not applicable to DTLS 1.3.

Internet-Draft         D/TLS IANA Registry Updates          January 2017

13.  Orphaned Registries

   To make it clear that (D)TLS 1.3 has orphaned certain registries
   (i.e., they are only applicable to version of (D)TLS protocol
   versions prior to 1.3), IANA is to:

   o  Add the following to the TLS Compression Method Identifiers
      registry [RFC3749]:

      Note: Value 0 (NULL) is the only value in this registry applicable
      to (D)TLS protocol version 1.3 or later.

   o  Add the following to the TLS Hash Algorithm [RFC5246] and TLS
      SignatureAlgorithm registries [RFC5246]:

      Note: The values in this registry are only applicable to (D)TLS
      protocol versions prior to 1.3.

   o  Update the "References" in the TLS Compression Method Identifiers,
      TLS Hash Algorithm [RFC5246] and TLS SignatureAlgorithm registries
      to also refer to this document.

14.  Security Considerations

   The authors are fairly certain that there are no security
   considerations for this document.

15.  IANA Considerations

   This document is entirely about changes to TLS-related IANA
   registries.
