Dear list,

I've updated the session-hash and extended master secret draft, according
to the feedback received on this mailing list and at the latest interim
meeting in Paris. With respect to the previous version, I've made the
following changes:

- removed support for SSL 3.0
- populated the "security considerations" section
- minor editorial improvements

As the I-D submission tool is unavailable now, I've made a copy of
draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt available at [1]. The link will become
invalid as soon as the draft will be pushed on the IETF servers.

Best,
Alfredo
