Technical Summary
This document specifies three sets of new ciphersuites for the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to support authentication
based on pre-shared symmetric keys. The first set of ciphersuites
uses only symmetric key operations for authentication. The second set
uses a Diffie-Hellman exchange authenticated with a pre-shared key;
and the third set combines public key authentication of the server
with pre-shared key authentication of the client.
