TLS 1.3 Experimental Developments
=================================
Overview
--------
Mbed TLS doesn't support the TLS 1.3 protocol yet, but a prototype is in development.
Stable parts of this prototype that can be independently tested are being successively
upstreamed under the guard of the following macro:
```
MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3_EXPERIMENTAL
```
This macro will likely be renamed to `MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3` once a minimal viable
implementation of the TLS 1.3 protocol is available.
See the [documentation of `MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3_EXPERIMENTAL`](../../include/mbedtls/config.h)
for more information.
Status
------
The following lists which parts of the TLS 1.3 prototype have already been upstreamed
together with their level of testing:
* TLS 1.3 record protection mechanisms
The record protection routines `mbedtls_ssl_{encrypt|decrypt}_buf()` have been extended
to support the modified TLS 1.3 record protection mechanism, including modified computation
of AAD, IV, and the introduction of a flexible padding.
Those record protection routines have unit tests in `test_suite_ssl` alongside the
tests for the other record protection routines.
TODO: Add some test vectors from RFC 8448.
- The HKDF key derivation function on which the TLS 1.3 key schedule is based,
is already present as an independent module controlled by `MBEDTLS_HKDF_C`
independently of the development of the TLS 1.3 prototype.
