Description

I've done some initial plumbing for internal self-validation at

  • #28

I have a static test generator I'm working on similar to wycheproof I did for curve25519-dalek:

Plumbing sources progress

  • #31
  • #30
  • #49
  • #52
  • #54

Any other vectors we should plumb ? These are the tests we run internally w/o downstream deps / internet access e.g. pure TLS or with bare minimal application part if any so it can be used in CI

Also hunting vectors we can just simply plumb without creating new things - worst case they can be upstreamed as provider validation suite if something needs to be created fresh

See if we can use a transcript like this: https://tls13.xargs.org/

Research direction

Start by reading #28 and the progress issues #30, #49, #52, and #54, then review the linked curve25519-dalek generator and tls13.xargs.org transcript. Done means agreeing on the needed test vectors and documenting or plumbing them into CI without downstream dependencies.
