Internet-Draft (D)TLS IANA Registry Updates June 2025
1. Introduction
This document instructs IANA to make changes to a number of the IANA
registries related to Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram
Transport Layer Security (DTLS). These changes update the changes
made in [RFC8447].
| RFC EDITOR NOTE: Please remove the note that follows.
| NOTE for IANA: This document specifies changes to the registry
| to update the changes made in [RFC8447].
This specification adds a new value "D" for discouraged to the
Recommended column of the selected TLS registries and adds a
"Comment" column to all active registries that do not already have a
"Comment" column.
This specication also updates the registration request instructions.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Updating "Recommended" Column's Values
The instructions in this document update the Recommended column,
originally added in [RFC8447] to add a third value, "D", indicating
that a value is "Discouraged". The permitted values of the
"Recommended" column are:
Y: Indicates that the IETF has consensus that the item is
RECOMMENDED. This only means that the associated mechanism is fit
for the purpose for which it was defined. Careful reading of the
documentation for the mechanism is necessary to understand the
applicability of that mechanism. The IETF could recommend
mechanisms that have limited applicability, but will provide
applicability statements that describe any limitations of the
mechanism or necessary constraints on its use.
N: Indicates that the item has not been evaluated by the IETF and
Salowey & Turner Expires 18 December 2025 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft (D)TLS IANA Registry Updates June 2025
that the IETF has made no statement about the suitability of the
associated mechanism. This does not necessarily mean that the
mechanism is flawed, only that no consensus exists. The IETF
might have consensus to leave an items marked as "N" on the basis
of its having limited applicability or usage constraints.
D: Indicates that the item is discouraged. This marking could be
used to identify mechanisms that might result in problems if they
are used, such as a weak cryptographic algorithm or a mechanism
that might cause interoperability problems in deployment. When
marking a registry entry as “D”, either the References or the
Comments Column MUST include sufficient information to determine
why the marking has been applied. Implementers and users SHOULD
consult the linked references associated with the item to
determine the conditions under which the item SHOULD NOT or MUST
NOT be used.
Setting a value to "Y" or "D" or transitioning the value from "Y" or
"D" in the "Recommended" column requires IETF Standards Action with
Expert Review or IESG Approval [RFC8126]. Not all items defined in
Standards Track RFCs need to be set to "Y" or "D". Any item not
otherwise specified is set to "N". The column is blank for values
that are unassigned or reserved unless specifically set.
3.1. Recommended Note
Existing registries have a note on the meaning of the Recommended
column. For the registries discussed in the subsequent sections this
note is updated with a sentence describing the "D" value as follows:
Note: If "Recommended" column is set to "N", it does not necessarily
mean that it is flawed; rather, it indicates that the item either
has not been through the IETF consensus process, has limited
applicability, or is intended only for specific use cases. If the
"Recommended" column is set to "D" the item is discouraged and
SHOULD NOT or MUST NOT be used, depending upon the situation;
consult the item’s references for clarity.
4. TLS ExtensionType Values Registry
In order to reflect the changes in the Recommended column allocation,
IANA is requested to update the TLS ExtensionType Values registry as
follows:
* Adjust the registration procedure related to setting the
“Recommended” column as follows:
Salowey & Turner Expires 18 December 2025 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft (D)TLS IANA Registry Updates June 2025
Setting a value to "Y" or "D" or transitioning the value from
"Y" or "D" in the "Recommended" column requires
IETF Standards Action or IESG Approval [RFC8126].
* Add a reference to this document under the reference heading.
* Update the "Recommended" column with the changes as listed below.
Entries keep their existing "Y" and "N" entries except for the
entries in following table. IANA is requested to add a reference
to this document for these entries.
+=======+============================+=============+
| Value | Extension | Recommended |

* For the two Reserved values above, add the following link in the
Reference column: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls-reg-
review/5BD62HBFjo_AsW-Y8ohVuWEe1gI/
5. TLS Cipher Suites Registry
Several categories of ciphersuites are discouraged for general use
and are marked as "D".
Ciphersuites that use NULL encryption do not provide the
confidentiality normally expected of TLS. Protocols and applications
are often designed to require confidentiality as a security property.
These ciphersuites MUST NOT be used in those cases.
Ciphersuites marked as EXPORT use weak ciphers and were deprecated in
TLS 1.1 [RFC4346].
Salowey & Turner Expires 18 December 2025 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft (D)TLS IANA Registry Updates June 2025
Cipher suites marked as anon do not provide any authentication and
are vulnerable to on-path attacks and are deprecated in TLS 1.1
[RFC4346].
RC4 is a weak cipher and is deprecated in [RFC7465].
DES and IDEA are not considered secure for general use and are
deprecated in [RFC5469]. Nor is MD5 or SHA-1 and these are
deprecated in [RFC9155].
In order to reflect the changes in the Recommended column allocation,
IANA is requested to update the TLS ExtensionType Values registry as
follows:
* Adjust the registration procedure related to setting the
“Recommended” column as follows:
Setting a value to "Y" or "D" or transitioning the value from
"Y" or "D" in the "Recommended" column requires
IETF Standards Action or IESG Approval [RFC8126].
* Add a reference to this document under the reference heading.
* Update the "Recommended" column with the changes as listed below.
Entries keep their existing "Y" and "N" entries except for the
entries in following table. IANA is requested to add a reference
to this document for these entries. This document does not make
any changes to the DTLS-OK column.

7. TLS Exporter Labels Registry
This document updates the registration procedure for the TLS Exporter
Labels registry and updates the Recommended column allocation. IANA
is requested to update the TLS Exporter Labels Registry as follows:
* Change the registration procedure from Specification Required to
Expert Review and update it to include:
Setting a value to "Y" or "D" or transitioning the value from
"Y" or "D" in the "Recommended" column requires
IETF Standards Action or IESG Approval [RFC8126].
* Add a reference to this document under the reference heading.
* Entries keep their existing Recommended column "Y" and "N" entries
* Update note on the Recommended column with text in Section 3.1.
* Update the note on the role of the expert reviewer as follows.
Note: The role of the designated expert is described in [RFC8447],
Section 17. Even though this registry does not require a
specification, the designated expert [RFC8126] will strongly
encourage registrants to provide a link to a publicly available
specification. An Internet-Draft (that is posted and never
published as an RFC) or a document from another standards body,
industry consortium, university site, etc. are suitable for these
purposes. The expert may provide more in-depth reviews, but their
approval should not be taken as an endorsement of the exporter
label. The expert also verifies that the label is a string
consisting of printable ASCII characters beginning with
"EXPORTER". IANA MUST also verify that one label is not a prefix
of any other label. For example, labels "key" or "master
secretary" are forbidden.

"Comment" or "Notes" column or that were not orphaned by TLS 1.3.
15. Expert Review of Current and Potential IETF and IRTF Documents
The intent of the Specification Required choice for TLS code points
is to allow for easy registration for code points associated with
protocols and algorithms that are not being actively developed inside
IETF or IRTF. When TLS-based technologies are being developed inside
the IRTF/IETF they should be done in coordination with the TLS WG in
order to provide appropriate review. For this reason, unless the TLS
WG chairs indicate otherwise via email, designated experts should
decline code point registrations for documents which have already
been adopted or are being proposed for adoption by IETF working
groups or IRTF research groups.
16. Registration Requests
Registration requests MUST be submitted in one of two ways:
1. By sending email to iana@iana.org; this email SHOULD use an
appropriate subject (e.g., "Request to register value in TLS bar
registry").
2. Using the online form at https://www.iana.org/form/protocol-
assignment.
Specification Required [RFC8126] registry requests are registered
after a three-week review period on the advice of one or more
designated experts. However, to allow for the allocation of values
prior to publication, the designated experts may approve registration
once they are satisfied that such a specification will be published.

17. Security Considerations
The change to Specification Required from IETF Review lowers the
amount of review provided for cipher suites and supported groups.
This change reflects reality in that the TLS WG essentially provided
no cryptographic review of the cipher suites or supported groups.
This was especially true of national cipher suites.
Recommended algorithms are regarded as secure for general use at the
time of registration; however, cryptographic algorithms and
parameters will be broken or weakened over time. It is possible that
the "Recommended" status in the registry lags behind the most recent
advances in cryptanalysis. Implementers and users need to check that
the cryptographic algorithms listed continue to provide the expected
level of security.
Designated experts ensure the specification is publicly available.
They may provide more in-depth reviews. Their review should not be
taken as an endorsement of the cipher suite, extension, supported
group, etc.
18. IANA Considerations
This document is entirely about changes to TLS-related IANA
registries.
IANA is requested to modify the note applied to all TLS Specification
Required registries instructing where to send registration requests
as follows:
| RFC EDITOR: Please replace "This RFC" in the following with the
| RFC number assigned to this specification.
Requests for assignments from the registry's Specification Required
range should be sent to the mailing list described in [This RFC,
Section 16]. If approved, designated experts should notify IANA
within three weeks. For assistance, please contact iana@iana.org.
