Extended Key Update for QUIC

streamIETF groupquic stateactive pages8 rev02 expires2026-07-09 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-extended-key-update/
This document specifies an Extended Key Update mechanism for the QUIC protocol, building on the foundation of the TLS Extended Key Update. The TLS Extended Key Update specification enhances the TLS protocol by introducing key updates with forward secrecy, eliminating the need to perform a full handshake. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining security in scenarios involving long-lived connections. This specification replaces the QUIC Key Update mechanism described in the "Using TLS to Secure QUIC" specification.
