The MLS-TLS secure channel protocol

groupnone stateactive pages7 rev00 expires2026-08-23 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kohbrok-mls-tls/
This document details how the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol can be combined with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) record layer to yield the MLS-TLS secure channel protocol. In this composed protocol, MLS acts as a continuous key agreement protocol that allows initiator and responder to protect both past and future messages in case of key material compromise. As such, MLS-TLS is suitable for long-lived connections. MLS-TLS also inherits the modularity of MLS and can be configured with post-quantum secure ciphersuites.
