1. Introduction
1.1. Motivation
The final draft for Kyber is expected in 2024. There are already
early deployments of post-quantum key agreement, with more to come
before Kyber is standardised. To promote interoperability of early
implementations, this document specifies a preliminary hybrid post-
quantum key agreement.
2. Conventions and Definitions
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. Construction
We instantiate draft-ietf-tls-hybrid-design-06 with X25519 [rfc7748]
and Kyber768Draft00 [kyber]. The latter is Kyber as submitted to
round 3 of the NIST PQC process [KyberV302].
For the client's share, the key_exchange value contains the
concatenation of the client's X25519 ephemeral share (32 bytes) and
the client's Kyber768Draft00 public key (1184 bytes). The resulting
key_exchange value is 1216 bytes in length.
For the server's share, the key_exchange value contains the
concatenation of the server's X25519 ephemeral share (32 bytes) and
the Kyber768Draft00 ciphertext (1088 bytes) returned from
encapsulation for the client's public key. The resulting
key_exchange value is 1120 bytes in length.
The shared secret is calculated as the concatenation of the X25519
shared secret (32 bytes) and the Kyber768Draft00 shared secret (32
bytes). The resulting shared secret value is 64 bytes in length.
4. Security Considerations
For TLS 1.3, this concatenation approach provides a secure key
exchange if either component key exchange methods (X25519 or
Kyber768Draft00) are secure [hybrid].
5. IANA Considerations
This document requests/registers a new entry to the TLS Named Group
(or Supported Group) registry, according to the procedures in
Section 6 of [tlsiana].
