1.  Introduction

   This document describes two new cipher suites for the Transport Layer
   Security (TLS) protocol version 1.3 (a.k.a TLSv1.3, [RFC8446]).  The
   new cipher suites are listed as follows (or Section 2):

      CipherSuite TLS_SM4_GCM_SM3 = {TBD1, TBD1};
      CipherSuite TLS_SM4_CCM_SM3 = {TBD2, TBD2};

   These new cipher suites contains several SM cryptographic algorithms
   that provide both authentication and confidentiality.  For the more
   detailed introduction to SM cryptographic algorithms, please read
   Section 1.1.  These cipher suites follow what TLSv1.3 requires.  For
   instance, all the cipher suites mentioned in this draft use ECDHE as
   the key exchange scheme and use SM4 in either GCM mode or CCM mode to
   meet the need of TLSv1.3 to have an AEAD capable encryption
   algorithm.
