A Readable TLS 1.3 Specification

blog

I’ve been experimenting at www.davidwong.fr/tls13 with a “readable” TLS 1.3 specification.

If you take a look at the original RFC: 8446 you will see that it’s not that pretty.

The page I created contains many things to simplify one’s life in reading the dense specification:

  • erratas are applied
  • references can be previewed
  • figures were re-created
  • etc.

For example, here is the state machine of the TLS client now:

client state machine tls 1.3

And here is the server:

server state machine tls 1.3

suggested reads:
