I'm about to approve the draft draft-ietf-tls-pwd-00 as a working group item.  In the past few IETF meetings there has been interest in this work and there was interest expressed in this item on the list a little more than a year ago.    The barrier for adoption was review and approval of the "dragonfly" algorithm by CFRG.  There is a draft, draft-irtf-cfrg-dragonfly-00, being reviewed by the CFRG.  There has been some discussion on the CFRG list on the following thread: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/cfrg/current/msg03258.html.   It seems that review is well underway and it would be a good time to bring this item into the working group to ensure there is proper review if the TLS aspects of the protocol.  

If anyone has objections to taking this work on at this point please respond to the list by February, 15 2013.  

Thanks,

Joe
