I've very happy to see how this process has gone and the resulting charter. I have two comments:- I would strongly argue to move TLS key extraction into the list of primary features. I guess that function might not always produce a key, depending on client & server implementations, but I think its important that it be available since if/when it works, it would mean that an awful lot of people would not need to develop their own (and probably broken) key distribution schemes. I would separately argue that the current list of primary functions (esp without TLS key extraction) is not really a "high-level API," right now, it looks much more like just any old crypto API (e.g. if you have D-H, which many developers might not understand very well). I think requiring the WG to more somehow at a higher level than JCE/JCA might be a way to indicate that. Regards, Stephen.
