Abstract​

This Informational independent-stream RFC specifies BUSA-TLS, a deliberately unconventional modification to the TLS 1.3 key schedule in which the zero-byte IKM used without a PSK is replaced by a SHA-256 digest of a specific Mandatory Audio Component. It is written in an April 1 style and has no IANA actions.
